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

Assertion (A): When light strikes the retina, potential differences are generated in photoreceptors
Reason (R): Light induces dissociation of the retinal from opsin resulting in changes in the structure of the opsin which in turn causes membrane permeability changes.
