Which part of the neuron is responsible for generating a nerve impulse?
The axon is responsible for generating and transmitting a nerve impulse. It is a long, slender projection of the neuron that carries the electrical signal away from the cell body towards other neurons or muscles.
What part of a nerve cell carries impulses toward the cell body?
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?
neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
The neurotransmitters of a neutron enable a nerve impulse to do what?
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
What begins when a neuron is stimulate by another neuron in its environment?
A nerve impulse
What are the two parts the neuron is split up into?
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What is the message called that a neuron carries?
nerve impulses
What nerve carries the impulse to the brain from each eye?
The optic nerve
Where does a nerve impulse start?
A nerve impulse typically starts at the dendrites of a neuron, where it receives signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. These signals are then transmitted down the axon of the neuron to the axon terminals, where they can communicate with other neurons or target cells.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
What is the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?
When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.
