Understanding Nerve Impulses: Unveiling the Body's Electrical Signaling System
Author(s): Leon Mark*
The human body's intricate operations are governed by the remarkable
phenomenon of nerve impulses, which form the foundation of the body's
communication system. These electrical signals orchestrate actions,
sensations, and bodily functions, enabling seamless coordination. The
nervous system's architecture, including the central and peripheral
components, serves as the backdrop for this intricate dance of signals.
Neurons, the essential units of the nervous system, generate nerve
impulses through the movement of ions across their membranes. This
process involves depolarization, the opening of voltage-gated sodium
channels, and the initiation of action potentials. The propagation
of these impulses occurs through myelination-induced salutatory
conduction, culminating in neurotransmitter release at synapses. This
release facilitates the transmission of .. View More»
