Which statement about the vertebrate nervous system is false?
1. In a simple reflex, the sequence followed by information is sensory receptor sensory neuron, interneuron, mator neuron, muscle cells
2. After completely severing the brain from the spinal cord, reflex withdrawl of the foot from a painful stimulus could still occur
3. Relaxation of muscle is caused by nerve impulses in inhibitory neurons going to the muscle from spinal cord
4. The symphathetic nervous system activates the body responses to stress, e.g., by increasing heart beat and dereasing blood flow to the gut

As a nerve impulse passes along an axon:
1. The membrane potential changes from positive to negative and then back again
2. Sodium ions flow out through ion channels and potassium ions flow in
3. Sodium channels open as the membrane potential becomes less negative
4. The sodium-potassium pump moves sodium ions into the cell

Identify A, B, C and D in the table:
Impulse conduction in myelinated nerve fibre Impulse conduction in unmyelinated nerve fibre
A B
