Solution

The correct answer is "nerve impulses."

Nerve impulses are the electrochemical signals that are transmitted along the neurons of the nervous system. These impulses carry information throughout the body regarding sensations, movements, and other critical functions. The other options do not accurately describe the signals generated by the nervous system:

  • "Stimuli" refers to external factors that elicit a response but not the actual signals.
  • "Sense organs" are parts of the body (like the eyes or ears) that receive stimuli and convert them into nerve impulses.
  • "Nerves" are bundles of neurons that transmit these impulses but are not the signals themselves.

In summary, the signals generated by the nervous system are specifically called nerve impulses.
