YES
Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
The message that travels through a neuron is an electrical impulse called an action potential. It is generated when the neuron is stimulated and travels along the neuron's axon, facilitated by the movement of charged ions. This ultimately allows the neuron to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
Neuron has to be stimulated to the point of it's threshold in order for an action potential to be initiated and transmitted
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of electrical activity called an action potential. This action potential travels along the length of the neuron's axon and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, allowing communication between neurons.
A neuron fires an impulse by the influx of sodium ions into the cell. This creates a temporary change in the neuron's membrane potential, leading to depolarization and the generation of an action potential.
Yes, an action potential is needed for a nerve impulse to occur.

In neuroscience, another name for an action potential is a nerve impulse.
It is probably called as action potential.

It is a difference in charge supplied by ion position. In resting potential the tendency is for the inside of the cell membrane to have a negative ionic charge, while the outside of the membrane has a positive charge. The change, back and forth in these two charge potentials is the conduction of charge down the neuron and is called the action potential.
