THe absolute refractory period
In myelinated neurons, the myelin sheaths are separated by small gaps called nodes of Ranvier. These nodes facilitate a process known as saltatory conduction, allowing the neural impulse to jump from one node to the next. This speeds up the transmission of electrical signals along the axon, enhancing the efficiency of neural communication.
The state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse is called the resting potential. This is when the neuron is negatively charged inside compared to outside, waiting for a stimulus to change its electrical charge and initiate an action potential.
a neural impulse(electrical impulse) is released and it travels down the axon of a neuron to the axon terminals. At the axon terminal there are sacs called synaptic vesicles which contain chemicals called neurotransmitters. When the neural impulse reaches the terminal it causes the sacs to move closer to the membrane of the axon terminal and release the neurotransmitters inside. Then neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic gap and stimulate the dendrites of another neuron and the whole process starts again.
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
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.
Action potential is a neural impulse.
A neural Impulse is a spike of electrical activity.
Reuptake
The light sensitive surface that converts light into neural impulse is called the retina
A sensory stimulus can generate a neural impulse, as can repeated or multiple inputs of neural signals from other neurons.A neural signal is transmitted from one neuron to anotheracross a synapse via chemicals called neurotransmitters, and a neural impulse is transmitted along an axon of a neuron by either an action potential (in an unmyelinated axon) or by saltatory conduction (in a myelinated axon).

These nodes facilitate a process known as saltatory conduction, allowing the neural impulse to jump from one node to the next.

Action potential is a neural impulse.
It is probably called as action potential.
A neural impulse is similar to an electrical signal in three ways: 1. there are electrical voltages involved in the movement of the neural impulse; 2. an electrical signal can convey information, as can a neural impulse; 3. an electrical signal can cause an action, like a car starter switch starting the engine, and a neural impulse can cause a muscle to contract to move a limb. (note that with respect to the voltages involved in the neural impulse, the voltages are created by the movement of chemicals, charged particles called ions, somewhat similar to how batteries produce voltages.) (also note that the neural impulse is the signal which moves along the axon, as an action potential.)
The state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse is called the resting potential. This is when the neuron is negatively charged inside compared to outside, waiting for a stimulus to change its electrical charge and initiate an action potential.
