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
