what is the ability to transmit nerve impulses to other neurons
1 Transmit nerve impulses: Nerves are able to transmit impulses along the length of the nerve cell in the form of an electrical signal (like power lines). 2  These electrical signals move from one end of the nerve cell to another and can pass from nerve to nerve (power pole to power pole).. Conductivity: This means neurons are also able to transfer an impulse along the full length of their axons and then on to other neurons, muscles or glands. Like the electrical wiring in your house. Neurons are always excited by a stimulus first, before that stimulus is conducted to the next nerve, muscle or gland.
