What is the difference between impulse conduction and transmission?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Impulse conduction refers to passage of impulse within the same cell. Where as transmission as the name implies, is concerned about passage of impulses either chemical or electrical from one cell to another.

The depressant effect of alcohol does not interfere with the conduction of the electrical impulse of the heartbeat?
true
Functional connection between two neurons is a?
functional connection between two neurons is the transmission of electrical signals from one neuron to another through a synapse. When an electrical impulse reaches the axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, allowing the electrical signal to be transmitted and continue the communication between neurons.
What is the impulse conduction through a reflex arc?
nociceptors and mechanoreceptors (respond to touch, temp and pain)
What is the membrane of a nerve cell is comprised of?
Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
What is the difference between a sinoatrial node and an atrioventricular node?
the SA node is located in the right atrium (one of the 4 chambers of the heart). It is where the elctro chemical conduction begins and sets the hearts pace. The AV node is located "downstream" in the conduction system of the heart and is a node where the nervous system has input into how quickly the conduction travels.....i.e. fast heart rate (tachycardia) or slow heart rate (bradycardia)
What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
What is the difference in transmission between myelinated and unmyelinated fibers?
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
Does the saltatory conduction reduce the energy expenditure of the sodium potassium pump for impulse transmission?
yes
What is impulse conduction?

How do you tell the difference between a rat impulse paintball markers?
the Rat Impulse LTD has: a regulator, The regular Rat Impulse does not.
What refers to the constiction or gaps that occurs between the Schwann cells that are for impulse conduction in myelinated fibers?
Nodes of Ranvier
What kind of neurons does impulse conduction occur in the fastest?
nig
What tissue type functions in impulse conduction?

The difference between impulse and impact force involves the?

Is the velocity of a nerve impulse greater than electrical conduction's?
yes
What features of nerves improve impulse conduction velocity?

Saltatory Conduction
