The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?
The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are conduction impulses and communicating with each other. These stimuli can be touch, sound, light, taste, and smell.
Who do three different types of neurons function?
motor neuron: neurons that relay signals from the central nervous system to the other parts of the bodysensory neuron: neurons that transmit information to the central nervous system from the senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell, as well as those that transmit pain signalsinter neurons: relay signals between neurons or groups of neurons, are responsible for the processing of information by the brain, like the logic circuits of a computer. Also serve to relay signals from place to place within the central nervous system.I was going to make a correction but there is none to be made.
What nerve cells that transmit information to the central nervous system from the senses of sight hearing taste touch and smell are the?
messenger neurons
Does sensory neurons for touch also carries pain impulses?
yes touch receptors can also feel pain you have to touch or be hurt by something or someone for that impulse to relay back to the brain that, yes, that did hurt or, yes, I am in pain
What regulates the body through impulses that come from the environment?
Sensory neurons provide information from the environment to the body. For example, when you touch a hot surface, a sensory neuron informs your body that the temperature near your skin is rising. Motor neurons are the neurons the body uses to react to the environment. For example, if you touch a hot surface, then your body will make your hand move away from that surface by a motor neuron. The action is the result of the motor neurons not the fact you realize it is hot, Motor neurons also send impulses to your muscles. These neurons are called somatic neurons. Another motor neuron is the autonomic neuron. This neuron control your organs and heart. Usually the Vegas nerve controls and divides this power in two ways: sympathetic and parasympathetic

The part of the nerve cell specialized for conducting information is?
All nerve Cells are also called neurons and they all conduct [nerve impulses called] Action Potentials. Specialization of Brain Neurons is extremely complex. Specialization of [at the other end of the Brain Neurons] the Sensory Neurons are The Answer: examples are touch, pressure, heat, pain, smell [olfactory], hearing [auditory], taste [buds], and sight [visual].
Do neurons in your brain actually touch each other when receiving messages?
no. they do not.
What is junction between two neurons?
The synaptic cleft is the space between two neurons, they never actually touch each other.
How do your senses help you maintain homostasis?
Receptors pick up changes in touch, pressure, and temperature and transmit impulses into the brain and spinal cord. The body responds to protect itself or maintain homeostasis

Do neurons touch each other?
Not exactly; as an impulse moves from one neuron to another it crosses a small space between the neurons called a synapse. The neurons as said to 'not touch' because the cell MEMBRANES of the two neurons do NOT touch, nor merge, nor consequently is there any sharing of cytoplasm between the two neurons. The two neurons ARE, however, HELD TOGETHER at that synapse by small molecules called SYNAPTIC ADHESION MOLECULES, which protrude FROM each neuron into the synaptic cleft or gap and then stick to one another. In this sense, PARTS of neurons do 'touch' PARTS of other neurons, in a MECHANICAL or structural manner, but NOT in an electrical or signal sense. The neural SIGNAL passes through the synaptic cleft or gap via neurotransmitter chemicals which are released by one neuron, diffuse quickly through the gap, and then stimulate a signal in the receiving neuron.
What is 'modality of sensation'?
Each type of the principal type of sensation that we experience pain , touch, sight ,sound and so forth is called modalities of sensation. We experience these different modalities of sensation, while nerve fibers transmit only impulses. How is it that different nerve fibers transmit different modalities of sensation? 1. Each nerve tract terminates at a specific point in the CNS, and the type of sensation is determined by the point in the nervous system to which the fiber leads. So touch stimulus is carried by nerve impulses in the touch area of the brain. Similarly fibers from the eyes (retina) terminates in the "visual Corteses" of the brain, touch stimuli carried by nerve impulses in the "touch" area of the brain. 2.Moreover, each receptor organ is specialized to receive a particular type of stimuli and this is carried to the particular area of the bran.
