the impulse starts at the dendrites which is located near the cell body and ends at the synaptic terminals which are at the end of the axon.

What happens at the synapse between two neuron?

At the synapse, the electrical impulse between the two neutrons at synapse set of chain chemical reactions which create a chemical impulse at the synapse.


Where is the neuron in the body?

Neuron is the nerve cells that carry messages to the brain .The various parts of neuron are dendrite ,axon ,nucleus , cell body and nerve ending . All the information from the environment is detected by the specialised tips of nerve cells .These receptors are usually located in our sense organs such as,nose , tongue and so on. The information acquired at the end of the dendritic tip of a nerve cell sets off a chemical reaction that creates an electrical impulse . This impulse travels from the dendrite to the cell body , and then along the axon ,to its end .At the end of the axon , the electrical impulse sets of the release of some chemicals . These chemicals cross the gap or synapse, and start a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron . This is how nerve impulse travel in a body


Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?

The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.


Why would a neuron not send an impulse?

If a neuron is not sending out an impulse or signal, this means the neuron is at rest. Neurons send signals electrochemically.


How does an impulse cross a synaptic gap between two nerve cells?

When an action potential reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, causing ion channels to open and allowing the impulse to continue along the second neuron. The neurotransmitters are then either broken down or taken back up by the original neuron to end the signal.


Through which part of the neuron does an impulse leave the cell?

An impulse leaves the neuron through the axon, which is a long projection that carries electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons or cells.


Where does a nerve impulse start?

A nerve impulse typically starts at the dendrites of a neuron, where it receives signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. These signals are then transmitted down the axon of the neuron to the axon terminals, where they can communicate with other neurons or target cells.


What travels through the neuron?

An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.


What begins when a neuron is stimulate by another neuron in its environment?
