Given below is the diagrammatic representation of impulse conduction through an axon.
Select the option with the incorrect information about impulse conduction at point A and B .
to 
and on outer surface, from site 
to 
to complete the circuit. Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
A current flows on the inner surface from site A to site B.
On the outer surface, current flows from site 
to site A to complete the circuit of current flow. Hence, the polarity at the site is reversed, and an action potential is generated at site 
.
Thus, the impulse (action potential) generated at site A arrives at site B. The sequence is repeated along the length of the axon and consequently, the impulse is conducted.
