Sensory neurons
Impulses from the sense organs travel to the brain along nerve fibers known as sensory neurons. These neurons carry the signals to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted to create our perceptions and sensations.

Chemicals that retard behavior by affecting nerve impulses can include depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates, which slow down nerve impulses. Stimulants like amphetamines and cocaine can speed up nerve impulses. These substances can alter brain function and behavior by modulating neurotransmitters in the brain.
Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine are used to transmit impulses through neurons in the brain. These chemicals are released from one neuron and bind to receptors on another neuron, causing an electrical signal to be generated and transmitted along the cell.
It is important for the brain to respond to changes in carbon dioxide levels as high levels can indicate a decrease in oxygen supply to the body. This triggers the brain to increase breathing rate to expel excess carbon dioxide and bring more oxygen into the body, helping to maintain proper functioning of vital organs.
Organs such as the brain, which contain a lot of water and need an ample blood supply to work, are particularly affected by alcohol. Other organs, including the liver, the heart, the pancreas, and the kidneys, are also affected by alcohol within minutes after it enters the bloodstream.
Brain damage can occur if an infant's oxygen level drops below 85-90%. Prolonged periods of low oxygen levels can lead to hypoxia, causing damage to the brain and other vital organs. It is important to monitor infants closely and seek immediate medical attention if there are any concerns about oxygen levels.

Sensory. hope that helped.
yes, in woman nerve impulses travel to the brain faster than men
all of your organs are connected to your brain. for example when you touch something hot your brain sends impulses to the body part to move.
Sensory neurons
An action happens. Her organs observe and send neural impulses to her brain. Her brain processes what happens, lighting up neural pathways. These chemicals and impulses cause her brain to make decisions.
Afferent nerves
Neurons (nerve cells)
Sensory neurons
The Axon is the neuron that is responsible for notifying the brain a person had hurt themselves. The axon is the cell that allows impulses to travel along it.
Motor or efferent neurons.
The major difference is the direction of travel for nerve impulses. In the afferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling away from the brain - these tend to be motor impulses. In the efferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling towards the brain - these tend to be sensory impulses.
