Of a neuron?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Determine the kind of signals that travel along the axon of a neuron.

Concept Introduction:

The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.

brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry message from.

different regions of the body.

Answer to Problem 24.2P

Electric impulse is the signal that travels along the axon of a neuron.

Explanation of Solution

Nerve cells are present everywhere in the body and along with the brain, it forms the nervous system. The signals travel as electric impulses along the axon of a neuron. The signals when they reach at the end of the neuron, they get transmitted to adjacent neurons by a set of particular compounds called as neurotransmitters.

Conclusion

In the neurons, the signals along the axons travel as electric impulses. They travel throughout the body as the nerve cells are found in the whole body.
