What is hearing?
Your eardrums take fluctuations of the air pressure on your ears and converts them to electrical pulses, which are sent to the brain. The brain then interprets the electrical signals as different sounds.
Why does your muscles hold your bone because the brain can control your bone.?
The brain does not control your bones, your bones are more or less static. They are moved by muscle contraction, which is triggered by electrical signals sent from your brain. The fact that your bones are connected to flexible joints is what allows your muscles to move them.
Bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles is called?
Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones by tough cords called tendons. When nerve signals are sent from the brain and spinal cord, these muscles contract to produce movement.
What is the nerve that sends impulses from the nose to the brain?
Quite a few, depending on what sensation you're interested in, but the cribiform plate is actually a part of the brain (the olfactory lobe), the only part of the brain that connects to the outside world directly.
What system is the sensory organs in?
sensory nervous system. Each sensory organ contains millions of receptor cells (dendrites) that send cell signals to the brain through the process of cell signaling. in some cases signals are sent directly to the spinal cord.
After your ears convert sound waves into electrical signals where are the signals sent for interpretation?
The brain
What is hearing?

What is the logical explanation of how colour comes to your eyes?
Light rays of differing wavelengths enter the eyes and strike the retina which converts them into electrical signals, these signals are sent to the brain where they are reinterpreted as colours and images.
How are signals sent from the brain to the rest of the body?
They are sent through your nervous system by electric pulses from your brain
Where are messages interpreted in the brain?
In most cases signals are sent to the brain through the nervous system. Individual signals are transfer from neuron to neuron in the form of chemical and electrical energy that eventually reach the brain.
Where is a sensation actually perceived?
Sensations are actually perceived in the brain. The sensory organs such as the skin, eyes, ears, and taste buds gather information from the environment, which is then sent as electrical signals to the brain for interpretation.
Spinal nerves carry what kind of information?
The spinal cord handles electrical signals sent between the brain and the rest of the body.
How does the sight and hearing works?
Sight involves light entering the eye and being focused by the lens onto the retina, where light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors convert light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve. Hearing involves sound waves entering the ear and traveling through the ear canal to the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted by the ossicles in the middle ear to the cochlea in the inner ear, where hair cells convert the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
How does light help us see?
Light reflects off objects and enters our eyes, where it is converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The brain then processes these signals, allowing us to perceive and interpret the visual information, which is how we are able to see things.
How do the neurons sent messages to the brain?
electrical impulses
Where in the ear in sound changed into signals that are sent to the brain?
The inner ear is responsible for converting sound waves into neural impulses that are sent to the brain.
Which kind of nerves sent the signals from your brain to initiate your physical movements?
efferent
