The correct term in the given blank.
Introduction:
The nerve cells communicate with the other nerve cells with the help of an impulse. This impulse called nerve impulse are the electrical signals. These signals along the dendrites generates an action potential or impulse. The action potential allows the movement of the ions in and out of the cells.

Answer to Problem 1.1A
Nerve pathways are the routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system.
Explanation of Solution
The nervous system helps in coordinating the sensory information and actions by transfer of signals. The nerves pathways are the routes that connects the projecting axons from the neurons to the axons of neurons located in the other region. The nerve pathways allows the transfer of signal from one region to the another region. The connection of neurons with one axon or a number of axons is the nerve tract.
