They occur in insulated or myelinated axons.
Action potential is a neural impulse.
The neural impulse is the electrical charge that goes from the nerve receptor to the brain. They are generated when the nerve receptor detects a foreign stimuli.
You are able to respond to things more quickly. If you are being attacked or need to move quickly, these nerve impulses can help.
Diverging Circuit
The saccule translates head movements into neural impulses which the brain can interpret.
Electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses because a neural impulse cause electrical impulses. Neurons use electrical impulses to send messages.
Neural transmission is different and MORE rapid in myelinated neurons
Nerve impulses move at nearly the speed of light. Hormones are chemicals that are released over a period of time to Crete changes in a multicellular organism. So, naturally, nerve impulses are faster.
