What are the sources of stimulation that start a nerve impulse?
An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment.
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
electrical
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
A nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal of one neuron to another neuron across a synaptic gap.
The message that travels through a neuron?
A neural impulse. Specifically, once it fires, an action potential.
Space where the nerve impulse jumps from one neuron to another?
Synapse

What begins when a neuron is stimulate by another neuron in its environment?
A nerve impulse
Is ventricular systole responsible for nerve impulse?
no ventricular diastole is responsible for nerve impulse
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
electrical
WOULD A SUBSTANCE THAT DECREASES MEMBRANE PROBABILITY TO SODIUM INCREASE OR DECREASE THE PROBABILITY OF GENERATING A NERVE IMPULSE?
It would decrease the probability of generating a nerve impulse. When a neuron is activiated by a threshold stimulus, the membrane briefly becomes more permeable to sodium. If the permeability is decreased, it will be more difficult for the sodium ions to rush into the cell.

What carries a nerve impulse from one neuron to annother?
Neurotransmitter.
What would a substance that decreases membrane premeability to sodium increase or decrease the probability of generating a nerve impulse?
Allowing more sodium ions into a nerve generates a nerve impulse. so decreasing membrane permeability of sodium would decrease the probability of generating a nerve impulse.
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
The message that travels through a neuron?
A neural impulse. Specifically, once it fires, an action potential.
Space where the nerve impulse jumps from one neuron to another?
Synapse
What type of nervous tissue that conducts a nerve impulse?
Neurons
