100. Figure 42.2.2 42.2. 2: The (a) resting membrane potential is a result of different concentrations of Na + and K + ions inside and outside the cell. A nerve impulse causes Na + to enter the cell, resulting in (b) depolarization. At the peak action potential, K + channels open and the cell becomes (c) hyperpolarized.
11.4: Nerve Impulses
Action Potential. An action potential, also called a nerve impulse, is an electrical charge that travels along the membrane of a neuron.It can be generated when a neuron's membrane potential is changed by chemical signals from a nearby cell. In an action potential, the cell membrane potential changes quickly from negative to positive as sodium ions flow into the cell through ion channels ...
8.4 Nerve Impulses
A nerve impulse is an all-or-nothing response depending on if the stimulus input was strong enough to reach threshold. If a neuron responds at all, it responds completely. A greater stimulation does not produce a stronger impulse. Figure 8.4.2 An action potential speeds along an axon in milliseconds.
Nervous System
The nervous system is the group of cells in the brain, spinal cord and nerves that are all made out of neurons. When we talk about the nervous system we are talking about the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Each of these is made of a specific type of cell called a neuron, or you might have heard them called brain cells.
13.19: Nerve Impulses
Action Potential. A nerve impulse is a sudden reversal of the electrical charge across the membrane of a resting neuron. The reversal of charge is called an action potential. It begins when the neuron receives a chemical signal from another cell. The signal causes gates in sodium ion channels to open, allowing positive sodium ions to flow back into the cell.
Signal propagation: The movement of signals between neurons
Neurotransmitters are how we communicate between one cell and the next. Synapses between neurons are either excitatory or inhibitory - and that all comes down to the neurotransmitter released. Excitatory neurotransmitters cause the signal to propagate - more action potentials are triggered. Inhibitory signals work to cancel the signal.
11.41: Nerve Impulse
Nerve impulses travel just as fast through the network of nerves inside the body. Figure 11.41.1 11.41. 1: The axons of many neurons, like the one shown here, are covered with a fatty layer called myelin sheath. The sheath covers the axon, like the plastic covering on an electrical wire, and allows nerve impulses to travel faster along the axon.
Overview of neuron structure and function
Anatomy of a neuron. Neurons, like other cells, have a cell body (called the soma ). The nucleus of the neuron is found in the soma. Neurons need to produce a lot of proteins, and most neuronal proteins are synthesized in the soma as well. Various processes (appendages or protrusions) extend from the cell body.

Anatomy of a neuron (video)
Anatomy of a neuron. Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon. Signals are received through the dendrites, travel to the cell body, and continue down the axon until they reach the synapse (the ...
Neuron Anatomy, Nerve Impulses, and Classifications
Nerve impulses, or action potentials, are electrochemical impulses that cause neurons to release electrical or chemical signals that initiate an action potential in another neuron. Nerve impulses are received at neuronal dendrites, passed through the cell body, and are carried along the axon to the terminal branches. Since axons can have ...

35.5: How Neurons Communicate
For an action potential to communicate information to another neuron, it must travel along the axon and reach the axon terminals where it can initiate neurotransmitter release. The speed of conduction of an action potential along an axon is influenced by both the diameter of the axon and the axon's resistance to current leak.
Nerve conduction velocity
Saltatory conduction. In neuroscience, nerve conduction velocity (CV) is the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down a neural pathway.Conduction velocities are affected by a wide array of factors, which include age, sex, and various medical conditions. Studies allow for better diagnoses of various neuropathies, especially demyelinating diseases as these conditions result in ...

The synapse (article)
How do neurons "talk" to one another? The action happens at the synapse, the point of communication between two neurons or between a neuron and a target cell, like a muscle or a gland.At the synapse, the firing of an action potential in one neuron—the presynaptic, or sending, neuron—causes the transmission of a signal to another neuron—the postsynaptic, or receiving, neuron—making the ...
Nerves: Types, Function & Anatomy
Nerves are like cables that carry electrical impulses between your brain and the rest of your body. These impulses help you feel sensations and move your muscles. They also maintain certain autonomic functions like breathing, sweating or digesting food. Nerve cells are also called neurons.
Nerve Impulse
A nerve impulse is the electric signals that pass along the dendrites to generate a nerve impulse or an action potential. An action potential is due to the movement of ions in and out of the cell. It specifically involves sodium and potassium ions. They are moved in and out of the cell through sodium and potassium channels and sodium-potassium ...
UCSB Science Line
Neurons transmit their signals from one part of the body to another through long nerve fibers. Depending on the job of the fiber, the speed can change a lot. For instance, some of the nerve fibers that come from your brain and tell your legs to move can travel as fast as 250 miles per hour.
What are the scheme of travelling of nerve impulse in the body?
Solution. Information is received by the dendrite tip of the nerve cell. Sets off a chemical reaction and creates an electrical impulse. The electrical impulse will travel to the neuron cell body. From the cell body to the ends of the axon through the axon. The electrical impulse causes the release of chemicals by the ends of the axon.
