Ck 12: Life Science: Nerve Cells and Nerve Impulses

Curated by ACT

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The nervous system is made up of nerves. A nerve is a bundle of nerve cells. A nerve cell that carries messages is called a neuron. The messages carried by neurons are called nerve impulses. Nerve impulses can travel very quickly because they are electrical impulses.
