Muller's doctrine of specific nerve energies describes a form of coding?
anatical
What does sound carry?
sound carries energy because its a form of energy
What is solar energy converted into what type of energy?
chemical energy
Does gamma ray have negative charge?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, essentially just a high-frequency form of light invisible to human eyes. Like all light, gamma rays do not carry any electrical charge.
Which particles carry an electric current around a circuit?
The particles that carry charge around a circuit are electrons. In some semiconductors, missing electrons in a crystalline structure (of silicon or germanium), caused by adding special impurities, form spaces called "holes" where there is a missing electron. These "holes" can also travel but, in the end, it is electrons that move in the opposite direction to fill those holes that carry the current.
What afferent neurons convey information?
Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.
Nerve cells that transmit nerve impulses in the form of electrochemical changes are known as?
Neurons
What does a bundle of neurons form?
A bundle of neurons is called a nerve. The neuron bundle, nerve, has afferent and efferent pathways, that means that it is like highways that are parallel to each other yet carry impulses, or traffic, in both directions.
What are two major types of cells that form nervous tissue?
First is the neuroglia, function is to support and protect the cells of the nervous system. Second is neurons, which are responsible for conducting nerve impulses from one part of the body to another.
How is the nerve special?
Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.
A bundle of neurons form at?
Several Bundle of neurons form inside a nerve --J.O Several Bundle of neurons form inside a nerve --J.O
How is the nerve cell specialized?
Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.
What is the Function of Neurons?
Sensory neurons relay information from sense organs, motor neurons carry impulses to muscles and glands, and inter-neurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor neurons. A typical neuron consists of dendrites (fibres that receive stimuli and conduct them inward), a cell body (a nucleated body that receives input from dendrites), and an axon (a fibre that conducts the nerve impulse from the cell body outward to the axon terminals). Both axons and dendrites may be referred to as nerve fibres. Impulses are relayed by neurotransmitter chemicals released by the axon terminals across the synapses (junctions between neurons or between a neuron and an effector cell, such as a muscle cell) or, in some cases, pass directly from one neuron to the next. Large axons are insulated by a myelin sheath formed by fatty cells called Schwann cells. Bundles of fibres from neurons held together by connective tissue form nerves.

What carries information throughout the body in form of electrochemical signals called impulses?
Neurons
What carries information throughout the body in the form electrochemical signals called impulses?
Neurons
Is a nerve a organ?
A nerve cell is a cell all by itself. There are two kinds of nerve cells, neurons and neuroglia. A single nerve cell can be part of a group of similar nerve cells and be considered a tissue; as in a nerve, which is composed of many nerve cells. But, if there is more than one kind of tissue that contributes to a common function, then we call that an organ. The the heart is an organ because it has several kinds of tissues that all work together. Nerves contain a network of nerve cells that carry signals and impulses to the spinal cord and the brain. These are called afferent neurons. They also carry signals away from the central nervous system (CNS), these are called efferent neurons.
One that carries impulses between the periphery and CNS areas is called?
A neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical signals in the form of nerve impulses. They play a critical role in transmitting information between the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.
