Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
An action potention.
a nerve impulse
No
NEUROTRANSMITTER is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses.Eg.dopamine,acetylcholine etc.
synapse
Well they are sent through the nervous system.
nerve impulse
action potational. volage change, threshold etc
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
The structure coated with myelin to increase the speed of nerve impulse transmission is the axon. Myelin is a fatty substance that forms a protective sheath around the axon, facilitating faster electrical signal conduction through a process called saltatory conduction. This allows the nerve impulses to jump between the gaps in the myelin sheath, known as nodes of Ranvier, significantly enhancing transmission speed.
