An impulse can move from one neuron to an adjacent neuron because

of the synapse, which is the gap or junction between two neurons. When an impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, causing it to generate its own electrical signal and continue the impulse along the neural pathway. This process allows the impulse to move from one neuron to another in a coordinated and continuous manner, enabling communication and signaling throughout the nervous system.
