Why do nervous impulses gradually reduce while doing a set of pushups?
A nervous impulse is the relaying of a signal from one part of the body to another in response to stimulus and is only conducted when the neuron has recovered from conducting its last impulse. When the body is under continuous pressure affecting blood circulation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients the processes are impaired and therefore their ability to conduct nervous impulses is reduced as it takes longer for the impulse to rest before the regeneration of a new nervous impulse
How fast does a nerve impulse travels?
It 200 miles per hour And it can probally be in meters too.
What part of the nervous system has the responsibility for carrying nerve impulse to and from the body?
The dendrites carry impulses to the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body.
What is the branching fiber that is the first part of the neuron to receive a nervous system impulse called?
The branching fiber that is the first part of the neuron to receive a nervous system impulse is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron. They play a crucial role in receiving and integrating incoming information in the nervous system.
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 are the names of the second and third laws of motion?
Newton's 2nd Law - Impulse and momentum Newtons third law - Free body diagram
What is the adaptive features of neurone on the central nervous system?
the neuron consist of the million short dendrites that receive electric impulse to the body cell, also the long axon that takes away the electric impulse away from the cell body and also it contain the myelin sheath that helps in contraction on axon to facilitate the quick transmission of the nerve impulse
A collection of nerve fibers through which impulses travel between the central nervous system and other parts of the body?
nervous system
How does information travel from one part of the body to another?
with the help of nerves and nervous system
What is an example of integration by the nervous system?
Example: when you step on a nail, your body perceives a stimulus (change in external or internal environment) receptor is the specific thing identifying stimulus, in this case, the skin, then a nervous impulse is generated and is transmitted through a chain of neurons towards central nervous system, sent to the brain where the impulse is interpreted (integration) by the brain, brain will send off new impulse via motor neurons through spinal cord through nerve to muscle to carry out response.
Part of the nerve cell that first receives the nervous impulse is the?
The dendrite of a neuron usually receives a chemical signal from another neuron, although a cell body (soma), or sometimes even an axon, of another neuron can receive the signal.Synapses which occur between an axon and a dendrite are called axodendritic synapses, while synapses between an axon and a cell body are called axosomatic synapses, and synapses between an axon and an axon are called axoaxonic synapses.
How do the messages travel though body?
Most of the messages are carried by the nervous system around the body. Others are carried by the hormones.
