Q. Given is the diagrammatic representation of impulse conduction through an axon (at points A and B). Study the diagram and arrange the events in correct order.

I. The polarity of the membrane at site A is reversed and depolarized.
II. A stimulus causes disturbance in the membrane at site of a nerve fibre resulting in entry of Na+ ions inside the nerve fibre.
III. On the outer surface, current flows from site B to site A to complete the circuit of current flow.
IV. Immediately ahead, the axon (e.g., site B) membrane has a positive charge on the outer surface and a negative charge on its inner surface.
