What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the chemicals that transmit impulses at synapses?
Neurotransmitters
What is receiving and carrying impulses towards the cell bodies?
neurons and synapses
What are the cells that transmit nerve impulses between parts of the nervous system?
yes
How are nerve impulses initiated and transmitted?
Nerve impulses are initiated and transmitted according to nerve reactions and messages that get passed along or transmitted along nerve synapses and zones.
Transmission of nerve impulses across the synapses is brought about by the secretions of very low concentrations of the chemicals known as?
neurotransmitters
How do depressants slow down the transmission of nerve impulses?
they stop the signals travelling down the nerves by blokcing the synapses
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses to the body?
Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
What is synapses?
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
Chemicals that facilitate the movement of impulses at synapses?
Neurotransmitters the are means by which neurons communicate with one another. There are more than 30 compounds known to be neurotransmitters, and dozens of others are thought to be so. You will only find them in the peripheral nervous system as the central nervous system uses mainly electrical signals.
How the nerves transmit signals to the brain?
Nerves use electrical impulses to transmit signals to the brain. The gaps between the nerve endings are called synapses.
Part of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses?
Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
What is the point of contact at which impulses are passed from one cell to another?
The point of contact at which impulses are passed from one cell to another is known as a synapse. In the nervous system, this junction allows neurotransmitters to be released from the presynaptic neuron, crossing the synaptic cleft to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, thereby transmitting the signal. Synapses can be chemical or electrical, with chemical synapses being the most common in the brain.
