Question

The conduction of the nerve impulses through the neurons is similar to the conduction of electricity through a wire.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

The conduction of nerve impulses is actually very different from the conduction of electricity through an electric cable. In the latter, the electrons move along the wire while in the case of nerve fibers, the conduction is not due to the movement of ions through the nerve fiber. the conduction takes place according to the polarisation of the walls of the axon.
