Neurons and their axons
a nerve impulse
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.
When the electrical impulse from a nerve stops, the muscle relaxes and returns to its resting state. This is because the nerve impulse initiates the release of calcium ions in the muscle cells, leading to muscle contraction. When the nerve impulse stops, the calcium ions are reabsorbed, causing the muscle to relax.
Sensory neurons are the type of nerve cells that carry impulses only towards the body of the cell. They transmit sensory information from receptors in the body to the central nervous system for processing.

Carry a nerve impulse to the next nerve OR to an effector cell.
Carry a nerve impulse to the next nerve OR to an effector cell.
Nerve impulses do not carry information, they only carry impulses. It is the brain and spinal cord that interpret that impulse into information.

How does a nerve impulse follow the all-or-nothing principle???

Both require motor neurones to carry the nerve impulse to the effector in order for the muscle to contract carry out an action.
Yes, an action potential is needed for a nerve impulse to occur.
