What travels along the optic nerve from the eye to the brain?
Visual information in the form of electrical signals travels along the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. These signals are generated by the photoreceptor cells in the retina and are then transmitted through the optic nerve to be processed in the visual cortex of the brain, allowing us to perceive and interpret what we see.
Information about sound waves travels as action potentials via the auditory nerve from the cochlea to the lobe for processing?
temporal
Which travels quicker through the body a nerve impulse or a hormons?
a nerve impulse
This nerve travels from the lower back through the buttocks and into the leg Add an A to its name and you have a painful lumbar disorder What nerve is this?
Sciatic
Where does the nerve impulse travel from the reflex arc?
The nerve impulse travels through the reflex arc. It travels from the sensor through the sensory neurone, through the spinal cord and motor neurone to the effector muscle.
What is the direction of impulse in a neuron?
A nerve impulse travels toward the actual nucleus itself to pass information.

How does an impulse cross a synape?
An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.
What are the main roles played by axon?
conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma. It is basically what the nerve impulse travels along.
Which travels quicker through the body a nerve impulse or a hormons?
a nerve impulse
Which nerve travels down the back side of the thigh?
Many do, but the sciatic nerve is the largest.
A nerve impulse starts at the dendrite then travels to the?
axon
What direction does nerve impulse travel?
Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.
What A wave pattern travels down the length of the axon of a cell.?
A wave pattern travels down the length of the axon of a nerve cell. A nerve cell, also called a neuron, is a specialized cell that transmits nerve impulses.
A wave pattern travels down the length of the axon of what kind of cell?
A wave pattern travels down the length of the axon of a nerve cell. A nerve cell, also called a neuron, is a specialized cell that transmits nerve impulses.
