A factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation or conduction velocity along an axon?
The speed at which neural impulses are transmitted. Diameter of the axon Degree of myelination of the axon
Why electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses?
Electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses because a neural impulse cause electrical impulses. Neurons use electrical impulses to send messages.
Which impulses are faster myelinated or unmyelinated?
Neural transmission is different and MORE rapid in myelinated neurons
What are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Neural transmission across a mammalian synaptic gap is accomplished by?
impulses causing the release of a chemical signal and its diffusion across the synapse.
Incoming neural impulses are received by the of a neuron?
Dendrites
Which structure is responsible for transducing light into neural impulses?
The retina is responsible for transducing light into neural impulses. It is a layer of tissue located at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals that can be processed by the brain.
What creates the electrical signal in your heart?
neural impulses from the brain
Neural impulses are first sensed by the?
the optic nerve in your eye
What are responsible for converting sensory messages into neural impulses?
Transductions
Transduction is the process of converting physical stimuli into?
Neural impulses
