  1. 42.2: The Mechanism of Nerve Impulse Transmission

    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.

  2. Overview of neuron structure and function

    A single neuron may have more than one set of dendrites, and may receive many thousands of input signals. Whether or not a neuron is excited into firing an impulse depends on the sum of all of the excitatory and inhibitory signals it receives. If the neuron does end up firing, the nerve impulse, or action potential, is conducted down the axon.

  3. The synapse (article)

    At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell. Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells. At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters.

  4. 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.

  5. Signal propagation: The movement of signals between neurons

    Action potentials travel down a single neuron cell as an electrochemical cascade, allowing a net inward flow of positively charged ions into the axon. Within a cell, action potentials are triggered at the cell body, travel down the axon, and end at the axon terminal. ... So if each neuron needs, lets say, 10 potentials from pre-synaptic neurons ...

  6. The Principles of Nerve Cell Communication

    The nerve cell, or neuron, is the key player in the activity of the nervous system. It conveys information both electrically and chemically. Within the neuron itself, information is passed along through the movement of an electrical charge (i.e., impulse). The neuron has three main components: (1) the dendrites, thin fibers that extend from the ...

  7. How Neurons Conduct Nerve Impulses

    The signal that's traveling from your finger to your spinal cord is this wave of diffusing ions flowing across a sensory neuron's membrane. 3. Resting potential sets up the conditions for impulses to travel. Like all cells, neurons maintain an electrical charge across their membrane.

  8. Transmission of Nerve Impulses

    The transmission of a nerve impulse along a neuron from one end to the other occurs as a result of electrical changes across the membrane of the neuron. The membrane of an unstimulated neuron is polarized—that is, there is a difference in electrical charge between the outside and inside of the membrane. The inside is negative with respect to ...

  9. Understanding the Transmission of Nerve Impulses

    Biology For Dummies. Nerve impulses have a domino effect. Each neuron receives an impulse and must pass it on to the next neuron and make sure the correct impulse continues on its path. Through a chain of chemical events, the dendrites (part of a neuron) pick up an impulse that's shuttled through the axon and transmitted to the next neuron.

  10. 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 ...

  11. 8.4 Nerve Impulses

    8.4 Summary. A nerve impulse is an electrical phenomenon that occurs because of a difference in electrical charge across the plasma membrane of a neuron. The sodium-potassium pump maintains an electrical gradient across the plasma membrane of a neuron when it is not actively transmitting a nerve impulse. This gradient is called the resting ...

  12. Neurons (Nerve Cells): Structure, Function & Types

    The neuron contains the soma (cell body), which extends the axon (a nerve fiber conducting electrical impulses away from the soma), and dendrites (tree-like structures that receive signals from other neurons). The myelin sheath is an insulating layer that forms around the axon and allows nerve impulses to transmit more rapidly along the axon.

  13. 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 ...

  14. Nerve Impulse

    The transmission of a nerve impulse from one neuron to another neuron is achieved by a synaptic connection (synapse) between them. ... This makes the process of nerve impulse faster as the nerve impulse does not travel the entire length of the axon ( this happens in the case of continuous conduction). The nerve impulse travels at a speed of 100 ...

  15. Neuron Anatomy, Nerve Impulses, and Classifications

    These nerves send signals between the brain, spinal cord, and other body organs via nerve impulses. 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 ...

  16. 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. ... The membrane of a neuron is -ve inside and +ve outside. Resting potential would be the difference in charge. The difference in charge might vary ...

  17. How does a nerve impulse travel through the body?

    This impulse travels from the dendrite to the cell body and then along the axon to its end. At the end of the axon the electrical impulse sets off the release of some chemicals. These chemicals cross the gap or synapse and start a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron.
