D)Cm;Rₑ

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rm (membrane resistance) and Cm (membrane capacitance) are arranged in parallel with each other in a small patch of axonal membrane. This allows current to flow through both of them if possible. Rᵢ (axial resistance) and Rₑ (extracellular resistance) are not arranged in parallel with Rm and Cm.
