What is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals?
A neuron is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals when stimulated
What electrical charge does a neutron contain?
A neutron carries no electrical charge
What electrical charge do protons neutrons and electrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
What is Electrical nerve stimulation also called?
Electrical nerve stimulation is also called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
An electrical charge in motion called?
An electrical charge in motion is called a current.
What causes a nerve impulse move along the nerve fiber?
Electrical diferences.
How nerve signals are transmitted at a synapse?
An electrical charge is spread through your body... The brain sends an electrical current to the point of the nerve to tell the body of the event...
What is the difference in electrical charge between two regions on a nerve?
potential difference- robbert bashouri
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.
Causes and symptoms of electrical tingling in your body?
Tingling is usually a symptom of nerve damage. There are m any reasons for this nerve damage which is called neuropathy.
What is the name of a heat sink carrying an electrical charge that causes it to act as an electrical thermal transfer device?
a peltier
Are Nerve impulses electrical signaled?
Nerve impulses are electrical signals.
How is lightning created in the air and causes an electrical charge?
Lightening is created by the immense masses of different air pressures colliding and creating friction. The electrical charge is obvious from the friction.
What is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation also called?
Electrical nerve stimulation
When a change in the environment that initiates the transmission of an electrochemical charge along a neuron is known as?
A momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a cell, especially of a nerve or muscle cell, that occurs when it is stimulated, resulting in the transmission of an electrical impulse. &/or "nerve impulses" or "spikes".
How does benzocaine work?
Pain is caused by the stimulation of nerve endings. When the nerve endings are stimulated, sodium enters the nerve ending, which causes an electrical signal to build up in the nerve. Once the electrical signal becomes big enough, it is able to travel to the brain, which then interprets this as pain. Benzocaine works as a chemical barrier, stopping the sodium from being able to enter the nerve ending.
How does an impulse cross a synape?
An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.
