Nerve Impulse Transmission and Nervous System Evolution
Transmission of Nerve Impulses from Neuron to Effector Organs
The transmission of nerve impulses to effector organs is conducted similarly to what happens at the synapse. Neurotransmitters are released into the effector organs. Thus, effectors respond to the presence of the neurotransmitter, causing a muscle to contract or producing a secretion in the case of a gland.
Invertebrate Nervous System
As one ascends the evolutionary scale, the nervous system acquires greater complexity:

Economic Evolution and Social Change: The Start of the Labor Movement (1833-1875)
The evolution of the Spanish economy in the nineteenth century was the result of institutional changes introduced by the Liberal Revolution (1808-1843).
