In the context of the nervous system and nervous tissue, propagation is the process by which an electrical impulse travels along the membrane of a nerve cell. This action allows for the communication of information throughout the nervous system.
congrats on reading the definition of propagation. now let's actually learn it.
The junction between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle/gland, where neurotransmitters are released to transmit impulses.
Myelination: The process by which myelin sheaths are formed around nerves, increasing the speed at which electrical impulses propagate along the myelinated fiber
