Answer:

The membrane potential is the basis for the conduction of nerve impulses along the cell membranes of neurons. Ions that are important in the formation of a nerve impulse include sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+). Ion channels and ion pumps are very specific; they allow only certain ions through the cell membrane.
