Impulses must travel from neuron to neuron and neuron to muscle cell in an uninterrupted chain, so that all the important messages necessary for survival are properly conveyed. how are impulses transferred from a neuron cell to its receiving cell? an electrical impulse travels down the axon of a neuron and is transferred to the receiving neuron through the release of neurotransmitters. an electrical impulse travels down the axon of neuron and “jumps” across the synapse by propelling the electricity across the space. an electrical impulse travels down the axon of a neuron and ends when it reaches the synapse. an electrical impulse travels down the axon of one neuron and is transferred to a receiving cell through direct contact. none of the above answer choices is correct.
