The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as electric impulses. Any damage to a nerve in the system will cause a breakdown in communication between nerve ending and the brain.
Electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses because a neural impulse cause electrical impulses. Neurons use electrical impulses to send messages.
The retina is responsible for transducing light into neural impulses. It is a layer of tissue located at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals that can be processed by the brain.
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Neural impulses (action potentials) are transmitted through axons which are covered in a myelin sheath for insulation.
The speed at which neural impulses are transmitted. Diameter of the axon Degree of myelination of the axon
Dendrites
A slap on the back is more painful than a pat on the back because a slap triggers more intense neural impulses. The slap cause more neuron to fire, and to fire more often.
