Skeletal muscles interact with the spinal cord
Nerve impulses travel up through nerves, into the spinal cord and into one of the different lobes of the brain depending on where the impulse comes from. For example, if the impulse comes from your ear, the impulse would travel to the temporal lobe.
Reflex Arc
Electoral impulse
The nerve impulse travels through the reflex arc. It travels from the sensor through the sensory neurone, through the spinal cord and motor neurone to the effector muscle.
Nerve fibers are groups of nerve cells are bundled together. Impulses are carried from cell to cell along the axon.
A nerve impulse can travel toward a nerve cell or away from a nerve cell. Different nerves are specialized to either send or receive impulses.

There is no relay station in nerve impulse conduction.
Nerve impulses do not carry information, they only carry impulses. It is the brain and spinal cord that interpret that impulse into information.

Whether the nerve fiber is myelinated or unmyelinated effects speed of a nerve impulse. A myelinated nerve impulse is faster. Also the diameter of the nerve fiber effects nerve impulse speed.
