Question
Chapter 12, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The nervous system consists of the neurons, which transmits the signal impulses from one neuron to another through the axons. The movement of the sodium and the potassium ions across the membranes creates a concentration gradient. This helps in the conduction of the polarized waves across the nerves.
