Which term refers to the period where no impulse can be generated even with intense stimulation?
Which term refers to the period whereby no neural impulses can be generated even with intense stimulation
How are neural impulses generated?
The neural impulse is the electrical charge that goes from the nerve receptor to the brain. They are generated when the nerve receptor detects a foreign stimuli.
What is neural impulse?
A neural Impulse is a spike of electrical activity.
What are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
What is the neural impulse generated by the movement of positively charged atoms in and out of channels in the axon's membrane?
simple automatic, inborn response to a sensory stimulus
The message that travels through a neuron?
A neural impulse. Specifically, once it fires, an action potential.
What generate and transmit nerve impulse?
A sensory stimulus can generate a neural impulse, as can repeated or multiple inputs of neural signals from other neurons.A neural signal is transmitted from one neuron to anotheracross a synapse via chemicals called neurotransmitters, and a neural impulse is transmitted along an axon of a neuron by either an action potential (in an unmyelinated axon) or by saltatory conduction (in a myelinated axon).
The state of the neuron when not firing a neural impulse is known as?
Resting potential
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is firing a neural impulse?
Resting potential.
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse?
Resting potential.
How are hormones similar to neurotransmitters?
A neural impulse is similar to an electrical signal in three ways: 1. there are electrical voltages involved in the movement of the neural impulse; 2. an electrical signal can convey information, as can a neural impulse; 3. an electrical signal can cause an action, like a car starter switch starting the engine, and a neural impulse can cause a muscle to contract to move a limb. (note that with respect to the voltages involved in the neural impulse, the voltages are created by the movement of chemicals, charged particles called ions, somewhat similar to how batteries produce voltages.) (also note that the neural impulse is the signal which moves along the axon, as an action potential.)
