I: Afferent nerve fibres transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the central nervous system (CNS)
II: Efferent fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs

The ionic gradients across the resting axonal membrane are maintained by:
1. the passive transport of sodium and potassium ions through membrane channels.
2. the passive transport of sodium and chloride ions through membrane channels.
3. the active transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ into the cell.
4. the active transport of ions by the sodium-chloride pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 Cl- into the cell.
