What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
electrical
What is impulse propagation?
It is the traveling of the electrical signal down the length of a neuron.
What is the sensory neuron function?
Sensory information is transmitted by the sensory neurons. They are nerve cells that convey data to spinal cord and brain.
What is affector neurons?
these have one or more receptors that detect change in either the external or internal environment, information that is detected is transmitted as an electrical impulse to the CNS by the affector neuron.
True or false a neuron transfers information in the form of an electrical impulse.?
Trick question. The actual TRANSFER is a chemical event, with the release of a chemical transmitter. The ACTION of this chemical is ultimately converted into an electrical event, or impulse. So, the answer they are looking for is probably true.
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
electrical
What structure of a neuron is capable of propagating an electrical impulse?
the dendrites are
What is the path of an electrical impulse as it moves through a neuron?
The electrical impulse travels into the dendrites, the "input" of the neuron, and into the soma or "body" where the signal gets processed. From there, the processed signal travels down the axon or "output" and into the dendrites of another neuron.
The junction where one neuron can transfer an impulse to another is called what?
synapse
What part of a neuron that conducts the electrical impulse towards its destination?
The Axon
What is impulse propagation?
It is the traveling of the electrical signal down the length of a neuron.
What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
What connects the motor neurons to the sensory neurons?
What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.
Where is the neuron in the body?
Neuron is the nerve cells that carry messages to the brain .The various parts of neuron are dendrite ,axon ,nucleus , cell body and nerve ending . All the information from the environment is detected by the specialised tips of nerve cells .These receptors are usually located in our sense organs such as,nose , tongue and so on. The information acquired at the end of the dendritic tip of a nerve cell sets off a chemical reaction that creates an electrical impulse . This impulse travels from the dendrite to the cell body , and then along the axon ,to its end .At the end of the axon , the electrical impulse sets of the release of some chemicals . These chemicals cross the gap or synapse, and start a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron . This is how nerve impulse travel in a body
What is the sensory neuron function?
Sensory information is transmitted by the sensory neurons. They are nerve cells that convey data to spinal cord and brain.
