Nervous system signals travel through electric impulses from "summary" of Physics of the Human Body by Richard P. McCall
The nervous system is a complex network of cells that transmits signals throughout the body. These signals are essential for controlling various bodily functions, including movement, sensation, and thought. One key aspect of how the nervous system functions is through the transmission of electric impulses. When a signal is sent from one part of the body to another, it travels through specialized cells called neurons. Neurons are capable of generating electrical impulses, which allow them to communicate with each other and with other cells in the body. This process is crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system. The transmission of signals through electric im...
