Which neuron receives information?
actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.
Why is that electrical impulses cannot pass from neuron to muscle cell?
The synapse, or connection, between a neuron and striated muscle is typically a chemical one called the neuromuscular junction. The pre-synaptic terminus coming from the neuron releases acetylcholine (ACh) which triggers an opening of the ionic channels on the muscle side. The depolarization triggers calcium entry into the cytosol of the muscle and contraction.
Does muscle tissue conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to another and coordinates body activity?
Muscle tissue cannot conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to the other. Moreover, skeletal muscle tissue cannot even pass impulses between themselves and they should be stimulated by single branches of neurons. However, cardiac muscle cells has the unique ability to conduct impulses between themselves through gap junctions.
Why would a lack of neurotransmitters change the function of the brain?
signals travel from neuron to neuron through neurotranmitters
How do red blood cells work with capillaries?
capillaries are then tendril like viens on the end of arteries. they allow red blood cells to get closer to muscle tissue allowing oxygen to pass into the muscle, and co2 to pass out of the muscle.
Why is it that the electrical impulse cannot pass from neuron the muscle cell?
There is a space (synapsis) between the neuron and the muscle cell. The electrical impulse can not pass over that. Chemical neurotransmitters are manufactured by neurons in the soma, then stored in little bundles called synaptic vesicles and transferred to the synapses. The release of the neurotransmitter is required for a nerve to simulate the muscle. This is what crosses the space.
What is a description of synapses?
A synapse is the connection between neurons, allowing them to pass signals between each other. A synapse may also be between a neuron and a non-neuron cell, such as a muscle cell, to trigger a reaction.Helping to send messages to and from the brain.
How do three neurons work together?
she sneezed with the thundering force of a hurricane!
The specialized membranes that permit electric impulses to pass between cardiac muscle cells are called?
sarcomeres.
What happens to certain nutrient molocules after they pass into muscle cells?
they are acted on by enzymea and release the energy they contain
Why are muscle cells needed in the intestine?
So the intestine can contract and son the food passed through the gut can pass on
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.
