An extremely high level of social inhibition is known as Social Anxiety Disorder, though is usually falselyperceived to be the result of a lack of confidence or self esteem.
Function of Electrochemical Impulses: In neurons, cell-to-cell communication is the major role of action potential. In other types of cells, activation of intracellular processes is their major function.
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.
