Nerve cells, or neurons, conduct impulses from the brain through their axons. These long, slender projections transmit electrical signals, known as action potentials, to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands. This communication is essential for coordinating bodily functions and responses. Additionally, myelin sheaths surrounding some axons enhance the speed of these impulses.

Motor nerves conduct impulses from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to muscles and glands in order to stimulate movement or secretion.
Yes, indeed. For years, doctors have used the electroencephalogram (EEG) to study patients' brain 'waves'. Wires conduct the faint impulses from the brain to the EEG machine.

No, epithelial tissue does not conduct impulses. Epithelial tissue functions primarily in protection, secretion, absorption, and sensation. Nerve cells, or neurons, are responsible for conducting impulses in the body.
Electrical impulses of the brain are the nervous impulses that the nervous system uses to control body functions. These impulses may be relayed within the brain, or may be carried to the peripheral nervous system.
