A chemical impulse refers to the rapid transmission of signals in the nervous system, primarily involving the release of neurotransmitters at synapses between neurons. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of these chemicals, which cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, facilitating communication. This process is essential for various functions, including muscle contraction, reflex actions, and the overall functioning of the brain.
