At the site of stimulation,the charge of the inner and outer surface of the membrane becomes reversed due to:

$A$: Presence of myelin sheath increases the rate of conduction of nerve impulse.
$R$: Ionic channels are absent in the area covered by myelin sheath; therefore,depolarization occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier,resulting in saltatory or jumping conduction.

During the conduction of a nerve impulse along a nerve fiber,what is the sequence of electrical charges on the inner surface of the plasma membrane?

What occurs during the repolarization of a nerve fiber?

Which of the following statement/s is/are correct with respect to generation and conduction of nerve impulse?
i. The resting potential difference is $-70 \text{ mV}$.
ii. The voltage-gated $Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ channels operate together and are self-closing.
iii. At the peak of action potential,the potential difference rises to $+30$ to $+60 \text{ mV}$.
iv. In medullated nerve fibre,the action potential is conducted as a wave of membrane depolarization.
v. The resting potential is maintained by the closure of gated channels of $Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$.
