What are the two elements needed for neural communication to happen? sodium and ions sodium and potassium potassium and electricity all are correct element pairings
Sodium and potassium ions are important elements in the transmission of impulses in the neurons.
The resting potential of a neuron is negative when the membrane is at rest due to the accumulation of more sodium ions outside the cell than potassium ions inside the cell.
When potassium enters the cell, it stimulates a sodium-potassium exchange across the cell membrane. In the nerve cells, this exchange generates an electrical potential which allows the conduction of nerve impulses.
