Neural Conduction

The process by which nerve cells (neurons) transmit electrical signals along their axons to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands.

Impulse

A sudden, involuntary urge to act, often without conscious consideration of the consequences.

Axon Terminals

Synaptic Vesicles

Membrane-bound sacs in neurons that store neurotransmitters, which are released into the synaptic cleft to transmit neural signals to another neuron.
