Coordination and Control
The messages carried by a neuron is called:
Nerve code
Reflex arc
Nerve impulse
Brain signal
Nerve impulse
Nerve impulses are simply signals that are transmitted along nerve fibres (or neurons). It is the process by which neurons communicate with one another.
The transmission of a nerve impulse along a neuron from one end to the other occurs as a result of difference in electrical charges across the membrane of the neuron.
Nerve impulses can travel very quickly because they are electrical impulses.
