Nerve impulses travel along neurons to muscle fibers, initiating a series of events that result in muscle contraction. This coordinated process generates force and movement in response to neural signals.

A nerve impulse, also known as an action potential, is an electrical signal that travels along a nerve fiber. It's generated by the movement of ions across the nerve cell membrane, propagating the signal from one end of the neuron to another.

The functional unit of nervous tissue is the neuron, also known as nerve cell. Neurons transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system, enabling communication between different parts of the body and facilitating various physiological processes.

Nerve cells transmit signals via electrical impulses along their axons. When stimulated, an action potential travels down the axon. At the synapse, neurotransmitters are released, diffusing to the next neuron, where they trigger a new electrical signal, continuing the transmission process.

The axon of a neuron is responsible for conducting electrical impulses away from the cell body toward other neurons, muscles, or glands. It serves as the primary transmission line for signals generated by the neuron, allowing for communication with other cells in the nervous system.
