The nerve impulse The information is transmitted by polarity changes in the membranes of cells due to the presence of neurotransmitters that alter the ionic concentration inside the cell. Moreover‚ inside the neuron proteins and ions are negatively charged . This difference in ion concentration also produces a potential difference between the outer membrane and within the cell . The value reached is about -70 millivolts (negative inside with respect to the value of positive charges outside

of high quality and high-speed telecommunication systems. Today‚ optical fibers are not only used in telecommunication links but also used in the Internet and Local area networks (LAN) to achieve high signaling rates. What is fiber optic communication?
