Expert Solution
Nerve impulses

Nerve impulses are transmitted through special cells called neurons.

Neurons contain cell body that has nucleus and several branched structures called dendrites.

Then, the cell body extends into a narrow tube called axon. At the end of the axon, branching structures called axon terminal is present.
