How is contact between neurons accomplished?
Contact between neurons, as you put it, is achieved through electrical impulses towards and from your brain.
What are the neurons that conduct impulses from a ganglion?
I'm not really sure what your asking...but a neuron sends an impulse because of a stimulus from the enviroment. The sensory neurons then pick up that stimulus and send the impulse down and it leaves through the axon where it is then pick up by another neurons dendrites.
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses from the central nerous system causing muscle fibers to contract?
The motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles. These impulses may be generated autonomically (instinctively) or through voluntary control by the brain.
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
What cell is very long so that messages can be sent right around the body?
The neurons are the longest cells in the body, some reaching a length of 2 metres (6 feet). The motor and sensory neurons are he longest ones and the nerve impulses travelling through them are carried from 2m/s to up to 150 m/s.
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
Nerve impulses travel to the muscles from the spinal cord through?
afferent neurons
How is contact between neurons accomplished?
Contact between neurons, as you put it, is achieved through electrical impulses towards and from your brain.
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
What is the similarities of neurons and motor neurons?
Functionally, neurons come in three varieties; motor neurons, sensory neurons and interneurons. Motor neurons conduct motor impulses from the CNS to the muscles. Sensory neurons conduct motor impulses from the rest of the body to the CNS. Interneurons connect the sensory to the motor so we can respond to incoming sensory stimuli.
What is the area between neurons across which nerve impulses travel?
no, synapse. node of ranvier is between axon and dendrites
A type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons that use electrical signals to transfer impulses throughout the body.
What are the neurons that conduct impulses from a ganglion?
I'm not really sure what your asking...but a neuron sends an impulse because of a stimulus from the enviroment. The sensory neurons then pick up that stimulus and send the impulse down and it leaves through the axon where it is then pick up by another neurons dendrites.
What carries impluses towards the brain and spinal cord?
The sensory neurons carry impulses through the spinal cord to the brain.
What neurons carry impulses from the brain or spinal cord to other organs and cause muscles to contract?
Impulses from the brain go mostly through the channels in the spinal cord and control most everything that goes on in the body. It is a two way street with information generated chemicals being carried throughout the body.The brain uses neurons to decide what information is acted upon.
What does carbamazepine do?
drug decreases abnormal electrical impulses through nerve cell pathways by inhibiting the activity of sodium channels in neurons. Consequently, it blocks the repetitive impulses that trigger seizures.
