The nature of nerve impulse is?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Electrochemical
- A nerve impulse can be defined as an electrical signal which generates along the length of the axon due to differential distribution and permeability to the chemicals which are sodium and potassium ions.
- At the axon terminal, the electrical impulse is changed into the chemical form via the release of the neurotransmitters like acetylcholine into the synapse or the endplate.
- So, the nature of nerve impulses is electrochemical.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
