Impulse conduction refers to passage of impulse within the same cell. Where as transmission as the name implies, is concerned about passage of impulses either chemical or electrical from one cell to another.
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
An action potention.
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
An action potention.
No
A momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a cell, especially of a nerve or muscle cell, that occurs when it is stimulated, resulting in the transmission of an electrical impulse. &/or "nerve impulses" or "spikes".
The condition where an impulse jumps from node to node is known as saltatory conduction. This occurs in myelinated neurons, where the myelin sheath insulates the axon, allowing the electrical impulse to skip over the insulated segments and only propagate at the nodes of Ranvier. This process significantly increases the speed of nerve signal transmission compared to unmyelinated fibers.
Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath
axon terminal Its the Myelin Sheath.
When the Sino-atrial node fails momentarily to initiate an impulse, sinus arrest occurs. When the sino-atrial node fails momentarily to initiate an impulse, sinus arrest occurs.
NEUROTRANSMITTER is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses.Eg.dopamine,acetylcholine etc.
