An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.

What does the impulse momentum theorem state?
Impulse-momentum theorem
Does a moving object have impulse explain in 2 lines?
An object moving in a frictionless envirnment has not impulse, but in all other moving objects have impulse. Impulse is defined as a change in momentum and therefore if the object is slowing due to friction it is has impulse.
What is a sentence for the word impulse?
"Following the impulse, he rushed after the car"
How is momentum related ito impulse?
An impulse is a change in momentum.
Impulse is vector or scalar quantity?
Impulse will be whatever you want it to be.
What connects the motor neurons to the sensory neurons?
What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
How does an impulse cross a synaptic gap between two nerve cells?
Neurotransmitters send the impulse across the synapse
What tracts of the spinal cord carry impulses away from the brain?
synape
What structures cross the synapse to generate the next impulse?
Neurotransmitters.
What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?
What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.
How does a nerve impulse cross the gap between the axon and the next?
Curently unknown...
How is an impulse communicated from nerve cell to nerve cell?
Via chemical messangers that cross the synapse.
Does the impulse cross the neuromuscular junction when a muscle contracts?
No, the impulse traveling down the axon ends at the axon terminal but causes the axon terminal to release neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft causing the sarcolemma of the muscle to initiate its own impulse.
What is synap?
A "synape" is a misspelled synapse.
What is meaningful sentence of impulse?
impulse is impulse
What are expressions for impulse?
Impulse = mv Impulse = Fmv
