A wave of action potential is termed as?

Options

(a) motor impulse
(b) nerve impulse
(c) activation impulse
(d) sensory impulse

Correct Answer:

nerve impulse

Explanation:

The wave of action potential is termed as a nerve impulse.When a anerve fibre receives stimulus inside the cell,plasma membrane become positively charged with respect to outside.The change in polarity across the plasma membrane is known as an action potential.The membrane with this reversed polarity then passes a wave along the nerve fibre.This wave of reversed polarity or depolarisation(action potential) moving down an axon is called a nerve impulse.
