Explanation:

Nociception-) is the sensory nervous system's process of encoding noxious stimuli. In nociception, intense chemical, mechanical, or thermal stimulation of sensory nerve cells called nociceptors produces a signal that travels along a chain of nerve fibers via the spinal cord to the brain.

b) A neuron generates an electrical impulse, causing the cell to release its neurotransmitters, he said. The neurotransmitters, in turn, bind to nearby neurons. ... Neurons conduct electrical impulses more efficiently if they are covered with an insulating material known as myelin.
