What does communication in the nervous system depend on which are electrical impulses that travel from neuron to neuron?
action potentials
How do action potentials relay intensities of information?
The nervous system can detect the strength of a stimulus by measuring the frequency of action potentials . For example a hard hit might generate 10 impulses per second.
Which is faster Endocrine function compared to nervous function?
Nervous is much faster. Impulse transmission happens in mSecs to seconds, hormones are usually agonists of nuclear receptors, and affect gene transcription, which takes hours to days to take full effect.
What are examples of feedback loops in are body?
example of negative feedback example of negative feedback
How does an action potential differ from a graded potential?
Action potentials also known as spikes, differ from graded potentials in that they do not diminish in strength as they travel through the neuron.
Communication in the nervous system depends on?
action potentials
Does nervous tissue generate action potentials?
Yes.
What is the fucntion of a nerve cell?
the transport of nervous impulses ( also known as action potentials)
What does the central nervous system use to determine the strength of a stimulus?
frequncy of action poteinals
Which electrolytes are important in action potentials and the excitability of nervous and muscle tissue?
Na,K and Ca
What does communication in the nervous system depend on which are electrical impulses that travel from neuron to neuron?
action potentials
How do action potentials relay intensities of information?
The nervous system can detect the strength of a stimulus by measuring the frequency of action potentials . For example a hard hit might generate 10 impulses per second.
How is information processed and transmitted in the nervous system?
It is transmitted along action potentials by way of chemical neurotransmitters.
Which is faster Endocrine function compared to nervous function?
Nervous is much faster. Impulse transmission happens in mSecs to seconds, hormones are usually agonists of nuclear receptors, and affect gene transcription, which takes hours to days to take full effect.
Do action potentials become weaker with distance?
action potentials are non-decremental and do not get weaker with distance.
What are the two subdivisions of the motor subdivision of the peripheral nervous system?
The two subdivisions of the motor subdivision are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to skeletal muscle, and the autonomic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
What kind of cells are excitable?
Nerve, cardiac and muscle cells have action potentials.
