The most rapid nerve impulses are impulses that are carried?
no
What are the most rapid action potentials conducted on?
thick myelinated axons
The most rapid action potentials are conducted on?
thick, myelinated axons.
Which impulses are faster myelinated or unmyelinated?
Neural transmission is different and MORE rapid in myelinated neurons
What muscle fibers are the largest in diameter and generate the most powerful and most rapid contractions?
fast Glycolytic
What makes a nerve cell so good at its job?
Nerve cells or neurons are well suited to their job of transmitting impulses around the body: * Myelin sheath insulates and protects the axons, * Many mitaochondria to produce enough energy to allow the cells to transmit the signal, * Cytoplasmic extensions enable rapid distribution of impulses.
What is the Cell type that is used for rapid communication and control?
The nerve Cell; which is also known as a neuron.
What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
An abnormal, rapid heart rhythm, due to an extra pathway for the electrical impulses to travel from the atria to the ventricles.
Which of the following would most likely occur if the vagus nerve was damaged?
development of a rapid heart beat
Stimulation of the irritant receptors in the lung can result in?
Irritant receptors:-Irritant receptors lie between airway epithelial cells. They are stimulated by mechanical stimuli, inhaled dusts, cold air, noxious gases and cigarette smoke. The receptors show rapid adaptation when they are continuously stimulated. Impulses travel via myelinated fibers in the vagus nerve. Irritant receptors lie betwIrritant receptors in more peripheral bronchi are insensitive to mechanical irritants, but they are sensitive to chemical stimuli; the pattern is reversed in the central airways. Reflex effects include bronchoconstriction and hyperpnoea.Irritant receptors are also sensitive to histamine and can thus contribute to the bronchoconstrictor response in asthmatic subjects in whom histamine is released from mast cells or other cells.een airway epithelial cells.

Myelin?
DefinitionMyelin is an insulating layer that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. The purpose of the myelin sheath is to allow rapid and efficient transmission of impulses along the nerve cells. If the myelin is damaged, the impulses slow down. This can cause diseases like multiple sclerosis.
Which type of cells conduct messages in a human body?
Neurons or nerve cells are highly specialized and have the ability to transmit messages at a rapid rate. Neurons are the basic working units of the brain and they convey messages to other nerve cells, muscle cells or gland cells.
