You have a nerve that carry the impulses from inner ear to brain. It is sensory nerve. It is the 8th nerve. It is called as vestibulocochlear nerve.
What is the name for abnormal firing of nerve impulses?
The abnormal firing of nerve impulses is referred to as "ectopic activity" or "aberrant discharge." This can occur in various neurological conditions and may lead to symptoms such as seizures or neuropathic pain. In some cases, it may also be associated with conditions like epilepsy or nerve damage.

Membrane surrounding an entire nerve?
The membrane surrounding an entire nerve is called the epineurium. It provides protection and support to the nerve fibers within and helps maintain the structural integrity of the nerve as a whole. The epineurium also assists in the transmission of nerve impulses along the nerve.
Large diameter nerve fibers conduct impulses much faster than small diameter fibers?
No, they do not. Large nerve fibers have a larger diameter than small nerve fibers as the name suggests, but they are also extremely well insulated with Myelin Sheath that makes them transmit electrical signals very fast. "A" fibers represent this type of large nerve fibers. Small nerve fibers are smaller in diameter and there are two types, "B" & "C". B has less insulation than A, so it transmits less faster. C however, is not insulated at all and even though it has about the same diameter as B, it transmits electrical signals much more slowly.
What is another name for Nerve Cells?
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
What is the name of smallest nerve?
The Trochlear Nerve
What is the name for the impulse generated when a neuron fires?
Brain send the message via nerve impulses involving neurons which use the neuro-transmitter AcetylcholineAcetylcholine- a neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction triggers a muscle action potential, which leads to muscle contraction
Name of wrist bone which starts with letter U?
Ulna is the bone, and there is also an Ulnar Nerve around the same area.
What is the name of the chemicals that transmit impulses at synapses?
