An axon is the relatively long tail-like part of a neuron


An axon is the relatively long tail-like part of a neuron, ornerve cell. The outer surface of the axon membrane (dielectricconstant = 5, thickness = 1.17 x 10-8 m) is charged positively, and the inner portion is charged negatively. Thus, the membrane is a kind of capacitor. Assuming that an axon can betreated like a parallel plate capacitor with a plate area of 6.63 x10-6 m2, what is its capacitance?
