Describe the process of transmission of nerve impulses in the human body.
Nerve impulses travel through the bloodstream
Nerve impulses are transmitted through electrical signals
Nerve impulses involve the release of hormones
Nerve impulses are transmitted through chemical messengers
Answer and Solution
Answer
B. Nerve impulses are transmitted through electrical signals
Solution:
Nerve impulses are electrical signals that travel along the length of a neuron to transmit information within the nervous system. These impulses are generated by changes in the cell's membrane potential and propagate along the axon to communicate with other neurons or effector cells. This process enables rapid communication and coordination of responses in the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Nerve impulses are transmitted through electrical signals'.
