Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
In which direction does a nerve impulse usually move?
It's called the ACTION POTENTIAL, or, in the case of a myelinated axon, SALTATORY CONDUCTION.
What part of the body does the brain tell to move your legs in order to pedal?
Motor Cortex
What causes the blood to move through you body?
hi hi hi
Function of air moves through nostrils?
helps move oxygeon into the body
Can you define an impulse movement in dance?
An impulse move in dance is when the dancer "tweaks" his or her body suddenly. These movements look like sudden jerks or twitches.
How does sensory impulse move throughout the body?
The nerve impulse travels through and reaches the threshold potential which opens Na+ Channels in the cell membrane. The Na+ ions diffuse into cell. The charges reverse at that point on the neuron, and which the cell becomes depolarized. Positive inside; negative outside. source: FM
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
What do motor cells do?
cause the body to move.
What part of the body tells the body what to do and how to move?
The frontal cortex (motor cortex) of the brain.
What do motor cell nerves do?
cause the body to move.
What do motor nerve cell's do?
cause the body to move.
How do your body parts move?
Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.
How do bones muscles and joints work together to move the body and be flexible?
Skeletal muscles are controlled by nerves from the Peripheral Nervous System. This causes the muscles to contract when they receive the messages transmitted along motor neurons, originating in the motor areas of the cerebral cortex. The axons of these motor neurons extend out to the muscle where it divides and goes to different muscles. The motor pathways that carry the nerve impulse from brain to muscle are composed of two neurons: - Upper motor neurons --> (cell body in the brain) - Lower motor neurons --> (cell body in the grey matter of the spinal cord) When a nerve impulse initiates the contraction of a skeletal muscle, it results in movement about a joint. Hope this helped :)
What is the difference between motor and sensory neurons?
The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.
How does a sponge move water through its body?
The sponge uses the choanocytes to move a steady current through its body.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
