Nerve impulses may be described as electrical signals along the dendrites in order to produce a nerve sensation or potential of action. The nerve impulse travels down along the pathways of neurons just like electrical charges move along each of the neural cell membrane.

The descriptive about the nerve impulse is as follows:
Explanation:
- A nerve impulse can be defined as the electrical signal that travels along the axon of the neuron.
- There exists an electrical difference between the interior of the axon and with the surrounding just like a battery.
- When the nerve is in activated form, there exists a sudden change in the voltage across the wall of the axon, that develops due to the movement of the ions in and out of the neuron.
- This results in the trigger mechanisms of the generation of the wave of electrical activity that passes from the cell body to the axon and then finally to the synapse.
- The nerve impulse flow only in one direction. The dendrites receive the nerve impulse from other neuron and axon functions by transmitting the impulses to the other neuron receptor.
