What are nerve pathways that produce responses without involving the brain?
reflex arc
Is vision contra-laterally controlled by the brain?
Yes, the visual pathways cross over in the brain. The right side of the brain processes left eye visual information and vice versa.
What is the significance of the crossing over of the descending motor pathways?
it is important to keep balance and the brain stays connected with both hemisphere. Remember right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice verse
What transmits messages from sense organs and the environment?
Sense organs send information to the brain via afferent pathways of the PNS (peripheral nervous system).
What does the nervous system provide?
Regulation by the nervous system provides resilience to the body. Staying calm and engaged helps with nervous system regulation in order to stay healthy.
Do sensory pathways travel to or from the brain?
Sensory pathways tavel to the brain.
What pathways form communication networks in the brain?
Neural pathways
What are sensory pathways that are located in the spinal cord or brain referred to?
Nerves
What are nerve pathways that produce responses without involving the brain?
reflex arc
Which organ is bypassed in the special circulation pathways of a fetus?
The liver is partialy bypassed
Is vision contra-laterally controlled by the brain?
Yes, the visual pathways cross over in the brain. The right side of the brain processes left eye visual information and vice versa.
What is neural pathway?
You can think of a brain pathway as a power line that connects two brain regions. Brain pathways are made up of interconnected neurons along which signals are transmitted from one brain region to another.
How does Ekwefi react?
An action happens. Her organs observe and send neural impulses to her brain. Her brain processes what happens, lighting up neural pathways. These chemicals and impulses cause her brain to make decisions.
What role do spinal tracts play in the peripheral nervous system?
Spinal tracts are communication pathways. There are numerous tracts and they carry messages from the body to the brain and from the brain to the body.
What are the two pathways by which messages are transmitted?
1 sensory organ - sensory nerves - spinal cord - brain 2 brain - motor nerves - spinal cord - muscles
What are the basic principles of somatic motor pathways?
The basic "principal" behind somatic motor pathways is a pathway from your "brain" or regions in or near the brain where nerve impluses travel from and go to skeletal muscle to cause a muscle contraction. (It's complicated, but doesn't get any more basic than this) -Jordan Bourne
Does the descending or motor pathways carry information away from the brain and toward the body through two groups of neurons?
True
