The nervous system delivers nerve impulses to the brain through specialized cells called neurons. These neurons transmit electrical signals from receptors in the body to the brain via neural pathways. The structures involved in this process include sensory receptors, peripheral nerves, the spinal cord, and the brain.

When a muscle contracts it does what?

In order for a muscle to contract, the brain sends a nerve impulse to the muscle it wants to contract. The nerve impulse triggers the potassium inside the muscle fiber cell to switch places with the calcium outside the cell wall, thereby feeding the cell and contracting the muscle. A second nerve impulse from the brain triggers the calcium to switch places with the potassium, releasing the contracted muscle.
