Electrical signals travel through nerves as action potentials created by the movement of sodium and potassium ions across the neuron’s membrane.
This rapid change in voltage moves along the axon, while myelin insulation helps the signal travel faster by jumping between nodes of Ranvier.
At the nerve ending, neurotransmitters carry the message across the synapse to another neuron, muscle, or gland.
