What are the limitations of electrical impulse.

Open in App

Solution

Electrical impulse is an electrical signal that travels along the axon.

Limitations of electrical impulses are as follows:
1) The electrical impulses reach only the cells that are connected to the nervous cells and not all the cells.
2) They would not provide a wide ranging effect.
3)
The impulses can move only in one direction. This is because the nerves are structured to allow unidirectional flow
