What do electrical impulses of the brain cause?
Electrical impulses of the brain are the nervous impulses that the nervous system uses to control body functions. These impulses may be relayed within the brain, or may be carried to the peripheral nervous system.
What system controls muscles and regulates body activity?
The nervous system controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses.
What does communication in the nervous system depend on which are electrical impulses that travel from neuron to neuron?
action potentials
What system receives and transmits information and responses which depends upon electrical impulses created by the movement of charged particles?
Nervous System
How impulses are transmitted and generated?
the brain sends electrical shocks through our nervous system that tells our body how to move, and when to do it.
The nervous system uses electrical impulses to enable you to react to your surroundings and?
And controll what you do. This question is in my science homework sheet xD
What type of impulses does the nervous system use to send messages to the brain and spinal cord?
Organs and parts of your body send information to the central nervous system (that's your brain and spinal cord) by electrical impulses. When the impulses reach the central nervous system, a response is triggered. For example, if you touch a hot object, receptors on your skin will trigger an action potential in nerve cells. This action potential will be passed on to the next cell and so on until it reaches the central nervous system. The triggering of action potentials is what causes the electrical impulse. The central nervous system will then send impulses back to your hand via a motor nerve and will cause you to automatically pull your hand away.
What advantage does the nervous system have over the endocrine system?
The messages of the nervous system are relayed by nervous impulses, which are very fast and short-acting. In contrast, the messages of the endocrine system are sent via chemical messengers (hormones) distributed by the circulatory system. This distribution in your blood is much slower than the electrical impulses of the nervous system.
Neurons that carry messages within the nervous system?
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system to communicate messages. They communicate through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, enabling the transmission of information across the brain and body.
Nerves that carry impulses toward the Central Nervous system only are?
Sensory neurons are nerves that carry electrical signals only toward the Central Nervous System. These nerves are found in the ganglia.
Which part of the nervous system carries impulses between the body and the central?
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses between the spinal cord and other body parts.
What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the effectors.
