What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
How are stimulus converted into a sensation?
sense organ
How fast does electrical signals travel through the human body?
350 ft/s
What system is the sensory organs in?
sensory nervous system. Each sensory organ contains millions of receptor cells (dendrites) that send cell signals to the brain through the process of cell signaling. in some cases signals are sent directly to the spinal cord.
What other organ systems would be signalled if you stepped on a tack?
Your nervous system would respond by sending an electrical message to your brain through your nervous system. Once you have recognized you were hurt, you would go and get a band-aid.
How signals move through the nervous system?
In the nervous system, electrical signals travel throughout the brain and into the body via nerves and nerve fibers. Electrical signals are how the brain tells the body what it should do.
Type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?
Nerve cells can transmit electrical impulses throughout the body.
What is the type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?
The nervous tissue
A type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons that use electrical signals to transfer impulses throughout the body.
what statement regarding the endocrine system is false?
it relays info through electrical signals; its signals work at the same speed as those of the nervous system.
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
What type of cell signals travel throughout the body?
neuronal cell signals travel throughout the body through the nervous system. The signal is electrical, and the fastest type of cellular signal. The electrical impluse is generated by action potentials.
How dows information get from the cns to the tissue?
Information gets from the CNS to the tissues through neurons. These specialized cells transmit and receive signals from the brain and other parts of the nervous system.
Can alternating current be transmitted through fiber optic cable?
No. Nor can direct current, for that matter. Fiber optics is designed to transmit light signals, not electrical currents.
Which sense organ helps us to feel things?
The nervous system helps your body to sense things around it by taking in input from receptor cells, which sense things, and transmit these signals at super-fast speeds to your brain, which processes the signals. These signals are then sent back through the nervous system to muscle cells or another form of output, such as salivary glands.
How are electrical signals carried through the body?
Your nerves do. Your brain sends electrical signals through your nerves to your muscles to make you move. Signals from the far ends travel through nerves back to your brain, so you can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel.
How does your nervous system send signals to other body systems?
The basic signal in the nervous system is called an action potential. It is a rapid change in the surface charge of the cell membrane from a value around -70mV to 30 mV over several milliseconds controlled by the selective flow of sodium Na+, calcium Ca++ and potassium K+ ions (mostly).
