What does the process of transmitting a nerve impulse from one neuron to another involve?
When a neurotransmitter lands on their receptor site, they can either excite of inhibit the receiving cell. To excite a cell, positive sodium ions flow to it, which depolarizes the membrane in a similar way to a nerve impulse. The depolarizing effect spreads through the membrane and only last for 1/3 of a millisecond.
What is the name of the cells that support the transmitting cells of neuron?
neuroglia (glial cells) - approx 9 glia per 1 neuron
Explain the communication process of neurons in the brain?
When transmitting a message, a signal travels through the neuron until the cell ends at the terminal. In order to propagate the signal to the next neuron chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) are released into the inter-neuronal space (synapse). This triggers signal initiation in the second neuron.
Is an inter neuron the same as an association neuron?
Yes, an interneuron and an association neuron refer to the same type of neuron. Interneurons are responsible for transmitting information between sensory neurons and motor neurons, or between other interneurons in the central nervous system. They play a crucial role in integrating and processing information within the nervous system.
What connects nerve cells?
The electrical signals nerve impulses carried by some neuron are passed on to other the signals carried by some neuron transmitter excite the target cells while nerve cells sometimes extend the whole length of the spinal cord connect sensory nerves are over bearing.
What term is used to describe a neuron that is not transmitting a signal?
When a neuron is not transmitting a signal, it is at rest.
What term is used to describe a neuron that is not transmitting signal?
When a neuron is not transmitting a signal, it is at rest.
What are the transmitting chemicals of a neuron?
Dopamine and Acetyl Cholines

What is the name of the gap between the transmitting and receiving neuron in a chemical synapse?
synaptic cleft
What does neurone mean?
The definition of the word neuron is "a specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell."
How does the structure of a neuron reflect the function of transmitting messages or electrical signals?
the structure of the neutron allows for efficient transmission of electrical impulses in the body.
How does the nerve signal move through the neuron?
in transmitting a nerve signal such as from your hand to your brain, several neurons are involved. Nerve cells can receive and transmit signals.the dendrites of one neuron are close to the axon of another neuron. The point where neurons meet is called a synapse
What part of speech is exciting?
Excitement is a noun.

The place theory of pitch cannot account for how you hear?
...pitches that are higher (greater frequency of waves) than any one neuron is capable of transmitting.
