When a neuron is in resting state i.e., not conducting any impulse, the axonal membrane is:
1. equally permeable to both Na+ and K+ ions
2. impermeable to both Na+ and K+ ions
3. comparatively more permeable to K+ ions and nearly impermeable to Na+ ions
4. comparatively more permeable to Na+ ions and nearly impermeable to K+ ions

Select the incorrect statement regarding synapses:
1. Impulse Transmission across a chemical synapse is always faster than that across an electrical synapse.
2. The membranes of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons are in close proximity in an electrical synapse.
3. Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across the electrical synapse.
4. Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters.
