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.
An impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons through a process called synaptic transmission. At the gap, known as a synapse, neurotransmitters are released by the sending neuron, which then bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, triggering a new electrical signal to continue the impulse along the nerve pathway.
A nerve impulse can travel in two directions: towards the brain (sensory or afferent pathway) to convey sensory information, and away from the brain (motor or efferent pathway) to control muscle movement or glandular secretion.
The pathway that the nerve impulse takes from your foot to your leg is called the sensory pathway. This pathway includes sensory neurons that carry signals from the foot to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where the sensation of pain is perceived and a motor response is initiated to move away from the tack.
A nerve impulse that originates in the precentral gyrus of the cerebrum is responsible for initiating voluntary muscle movements. It travels along the corticospinal tract, crosses over to the opposite side of the brainstem, and descends through the spinal cord to reach the muscles that are involved in the intended movement. This process allows for precise and coordinated control of voluntary movements throughout the body.

Both require motor neurones to carry the nerve impulse to the effector in order for the muscle to contract carry out an action.
