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 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.
Are Nerve impulses electrical signaled?
Nerve impulses are electrical signals.
What is the optics?
It is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses to the brain from the retina.
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.
Which part of the ear changes sound waves into electrical impulses?
None - except as an artifact. The nerve cells (auditory nerve) carry the signal chemically and produce electrical signals as a side effect of ion flows. Your brain ignores the electrical signal but responds to neuro-transmitters released by the nerve cells at synapses.
What cells carry impulses from sense organs to the brain and spinal cord?
Neurons (nerve cells)
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
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
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.
What is the process of a nerve response?
cells in nervous tissue communicate with each other by way of electrical nerve impulses
