A sound is perceived (realized) when:
1. The sound wave vibrates the ear drum
2. It is first created at its sources
3. The nerve impulse initiated by a sound wave from the inner ear reaches the brain
4. Vibrations within the inner ear activate a nerve impulse

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
Action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to another Action potential travels along the entire length of fibre
Conduction is very fast and called saltatory conduction Conduction is slow
C D
 
Options  A B C D
1. Depolarisation occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier Depolarisation occurs all along the length of nerve fibre Energy expenditure is less Energy expenditure is more
2. Depolarisation occurs all along the length of nerve fibre Depolarisation occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier Energy expenditure is less Energy expenditure is  more
3. Depolarisation occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier Depolarisation occurs all along the length of nerve fibre Energy expenditure is  more Energy expenditure is less
4. Depolarisation occurs all along the length of nerve fibre Depolarisation occurs all along the length of nerve fibre Energy expenditure is less Energy expenditure is  more
