What are the two types of impulses?

Sensory impulses are neural messages that travel from the internal and external environment to the spinal cord and brain. Motor impulses are neural messages that travel from the spinal cord and brain to the body.

What are the different types of nerve impulses?

There are two types of nervous impulses. The first pass from the skin's receptors or from internal organs to the brain and relay information from the brain to the muscles and glands. The others transmit information between two types of neurons.

Are signals and impulses the same?

Nerve impulses are signals carried along nerve fibers. These signals convey, to the spinal cord and brain, information about the body and about the outside world. They communicate among centers in the central nervous system and they command your muscles to move. Nerve impulses are electrochemical events.

What is one distinguishing feature of nerve impulse?

The characteristic properties of the nerve impulse are: electrical excitability; non-decremental or uniform conduction rate of impulse under uniform conditions; all-or-none response; and absolute refractoriness during response.
