Do nerve cells carry electrical impulses?

Of course they do. They are modified for that

Are nerve signals only carried be electrical impulses?

yes

How is the nerve special?

Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.

What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?

Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized to receive and transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. They have structures called dendrites that receive signals from other neurons, and an axon that transmits signals to other cells. Neurons have a membrane potential that allows them to generate and transmit electrical impulses known as action potentials.

How is the nerve cell specialized?

Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.

Which two elements are needed to help nerve cells send electrical signals?

It's Sodium and Potassium are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses

What is the optics?

It is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses to the brain from the retina.

What is the process of a nerve response?

cells in nervous tissue communicate with each other by way of electrical nerve impulses

What do neurons carry nerve impulses in the form of?

Neurons carry nerve impulses in the form of electrical signals. These signals are generated by changes in the electrical charge of the cell membrane, allowing for communication between neurons and other cells in the body.

A test using inserted needles to measure nerve impulses?

Electromyography.Electromyography measures the electrical impulses of muscles at rest and during contraction.

Why can a nerve still be alive when a person is dead?

A nerve is simply a line of cells through which electrical impulses travel. These electrical impulses are generated by the movement of Sodium and potassium ions into and out of the cells which generates an action potential (impulse). Nerve cells can be stimulated once a person is dead if an electrical impulse is generated and so appear to be alive.

Type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?

Nerve cells can transmit electrical impulses throughout the body.
