If a syndicated columnist manages to get published on a website with high traffic, he could potentially be read by people all over the world. If someone overseas did a search for a topic that was included in his column, then they could find him purely by accident and become a fan.
Lesia Marie. A nerve impulse is an electrical charge that travels down the cell membrane of a neuron's dendrite and/or axon through the action of the Na-K pump. The inside of a neuron's cell membrane is negatively-charged while the outside is positively-charged. It is called Action potential.
Speed of Impulses. Neurones send messages electrochemically; this means that chemicals (ions) cause an electrical impulse. Neurones and muscle cells are electrically excitable cells, which means that they can transmit electrical nerve impulses. These impulses are due to events in the cell membrane, so to understand the nerve impulse we need to revise some properties of cell membranes.
