Nerve cells transmit signals through the generation and propagation of electrical impulses known as nerve impulses or action potentials.
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.
