Electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses because a neural impulse cause electrical impulses. Neurons use electrical impulses to send messages.
neural impulses from the brain
Action potential is a neural impulse.
The retina is responsible for transducing light into neural impulses. It is a layer of tissue located at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals that can be processed by the brain.
Action potential is a neural impulse.
This process is called transduction. Sound waves are converted into electrical signals by hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear. These signals are then sent as neural impulses to the brain via the auditory nerve for processing.
Sensory receptors, such as photoreceptors in the eyes, mechanoreceptors in the skin, and chemoreceptors in the nose, are responsible for converting sensory messages (like light, pressure, and chemicals) into neural impulses. These neural impulses are then transmitted to the brain for processing and interpretation.
Nerve impulses are electrical signals.

Neural impulses are generated when a neuron receives signals from other neurons or sensory receptors, causing a change in its membrane potential. This change in membrane potential triggers an action potential, a rapid electrical signal that travels down the axon of the neuron. This action potential then triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, allowing the signal to be passed on to other neurons.
as for the atom it contains protons and electrons and neutrons electrons have neglegible mass so they cannot balance atom but there is neutron which has balanced atom together with proton
Faster neural impulses occur in myelinated neurons, specifically at the nodes of Ranvier where the myelin sheath is interrupted. This allows for a process called saltatory conduction, where the action potential jumps from one node to the next, speeding up the transmission of electrical signals along the neuron.
