What is the relay station for nerve impulses?
There is no relay station in nerve impulse conduction.
Is the velocity of a nerve impulse greater than electrical conduction's?
yes
What is nerve conduction velocity test?
Nerve conduction velocity test-- A test that measures the time it takes a nerve impulse to travel a specific distance over the nerve after electronic stimulation.
When the nerve impulse hops from node to node to the axon terminal?
This is called saltatory conduction.
The velocity of nerve impulse conduction is greatest in?
Heavily myelinated, large diameter fibers
What is a way of conduction?
This means that the flow of a nerve impulse will travel only in one direction.
What is a Nerve conduction velocity test?
A test that measures the time it takes a nerve impulse to travel a specific distance over the nerve after electronic stimulation.
What is the myelin sheath's function?
The function of the myelin sheath is to insulate the axon of the neuron. When there are gaps in the sheath, known as nodes of Ranvier, the nerve impulse can jump from gap to gap, thus increasing greatly the speed of conduction of the nerve impulse. This is known as saltatory conduction.

What is demyelinating processes?
Demyelination is the process that erodes the sheath that normally protects nerve cells. This causes a reduction in the nerve impulse conduction. One of the diseases that causes this is multiple sclerosis.
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 happens for the perception of sensation to take place?
stimulus present, receptor activated, nerve impulse conduction
