Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The order in which nerve transmission occurs is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Neurons are one-meter-long nerve cells that receive, conduct and transmit signals. In the nervous system, long-distance signaling is made possible by the nerve impulse (action potential). In the axoplasm region of the neuron, $K^{+}$ is more and $N{a}^{+}$ concentration is less. There is a movement of these two ions across the membrane of the neuron cell due to electrochemical differences when nerves are stimulated.
