Five events in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse are given:
| A. | Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post synaptic neuron. |
| B. | Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post synaptic membrane. |
| C. | Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter releases into synaptic cleft. |
| D. | Depolarization of pre-synaptic membrane. |
| E. | Arrival of action potential at axon terminal. |
In which sequence do these events occur?
1. E → D → C → B → A
2. A → B → C → D → E
3. A → B → D → C → E
4. E → D → C → A → B
