Chapter 14, Problem 13WYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The factors influencing the impulse conduction rate.
Introduction:
A nerve impulse is a signal which is transmitted along a nerve fiber. It is also known as an action potential. The nerves communicate with one another by the help of a nerve impulse.
