Question

Describe the path of an electrical impulse as it moves through a neuron. you must use the words axon, axon terminal, dendrites, myelin sheath, nodes of ranvier, synapse and neurotransmitters in your description.

Answer 1

The path of movement of electrical impulse starts from the dendrites. Then it passes through cell body, axon, axon terminal and to the dendrites of another neuron through the synapse. Myelin sheath acts as insulator, Nodes of ranvier are small gaps in axons which facilitate the impulse transfer. This impulses are chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters.
