Introduction to Nerve Impulse -

Nerve Impulse

  • All the nerve fibres carry information in the form of the nerve impulse.
  • The nerve impulse is the sum total of physical and chemical disturbances created by a stimulus (electrical, chemical or mechanical) in a neuron or nerve fibre which results in the movement of a wave along the nerve fibre.
  • The nerve fibre or axon is like a cylinder. 
  • The interior of the axon is filled with axoplasm (i.e., the cytoplasm of the nerve cell) 
  • The exterior of the axon is covered with a thin membrane, the axon membrane or axolemma.
  • Axolemma is selectively permeable for eimple organic and inorganic molecules 
  • The axon is immersed in the extracellular fluid (ECF).
  • Through axolemma movement of solute takes place between the axoplasm and ECF.
  • Generally, the solutes in ECF and axoplasm are in ionic form.

 Hence, the correct option is b.
