Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system by a combination of electrical and chemical signals, making the process best described as electrochemical in nature. Electrical signals (action potentials) travel down the length of the neuron to the axon terminal, where the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals) allows the signal to be transmitted to the next neuron or target cell.
