    This is stored in the axon. An electrical impulse starts in the neuron. The charge is sent down the axon and this is how it starts. A neuron has three basic parts: the body or soma‚ the axon and the dendrites. The Cell body is the center for sending and receiving impulses. The axon is a tube like extension of a neuron. Axons extended can be up to 3 feet long (psychology textbook). Nerves are actually bundles of axons. Axon receives the impulse from the cell body and passes it on to the next

    The senses transmit sensory information’s‚ in the form of electrochemical impulses‚ to the brain. Different forms of energy stimulate the sensory receptors – the nerve endings and cells that detect sensory information. The sensory receptors then initiate neural impulses. Sensation occurs when the neural impulses arrive at the cerebral cortex. Neural impulses that begin in the optic nerve are sent to the visual areas of the cerebral cortex‚ and we see objects. Each person’s unique perception results
