What asystole means?

What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What is the part of the body made up of bundles of neurons that carry impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all parts of the body?
The nervous system carries impulses to and from the brain by way of neurons. The bundles are called nerves. Sensory nerves bring impulses into the spinal cord and brain and motor neuron carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.
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 is the message called that a neuron carries?
nerve impulses
What are the messages that a neuron carries called?
They are called "nerve impulses"
What are examples of voluntary and involuntary muscle?
a voluntary muscle is a muscle that move when you tell it toMuscles in our hands (skeletal muscle) are called voluntary, because these muscles act according to the impulses (orders) given by our conscious brain.Heart (cardiac muscle) is an example of an involuntary muscle. It works all the time with impulses from our brain stem, which is involuntary.some more examples of voluntary muscles in our body are, muscles of the chest, neck, abdomen, etc. and those of involuntary muscles are, muscles of the digestive system, smooth muscles etc.
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 are deep muscles called?
The deep muscles of the human body are generally called intrinsic muscles. The muscles that are closer to the skin are called superficial muscles.
What is the state of slight contraction present in healthy muscles?
The continuous partial contraction of muscle is called muscle tone
