Melination

The myelin sheath means that the action potential can occur in between the schwann cells. Myelinated meurones conduct much quicker that non-myleinated neurones, even at speeds upto 120m/s

Acetylcholine is one of many neurotransmitters. It's the primary NT of voluntary muscular movement. Myelin insulates the axons, allowing nerve impulses to be transmitted faster.

What does a neuron transmits signals from its what?

A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.

What us synapse?

synapse are the microscopic gapes between the neurons where helps in passing of the chemicals from one neuron to other. A small amont of chemical substance is released from one neuron into the synapse and this chem. substance changes to electrical impluses and enters the dentrites of the other neuron.


What happens at the synapse between two neuron?

At the synapse, the electrical impulse between the two neutrons at synapse set of chain chemical reactions which create a chemical impulse at the synapse.
