Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
What are the sources of stimulation that start a nerve impulse?
An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment.
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
The message that travels through a neuron?
A neural impulse. Specifically, once it fires, an action potential.
What happens when an impulse reaches the end of an axon?
It reaches the synapse and sends neurotransmitters to start a new impulse to the next neuron
What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
Why would a neuron not send an impulse?
If a neuron is not sending out an impulse or signal, this means the neuron is at rest. Neurons send signals electrochemically.
What are the sources of stimulation that start a nerve impulse?
An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment.
What begins when a neuron is stimulate by another neuron in its environment?
A nerve impulse
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
Which type of the neuron carries the impulse to the sense organs to the brain?
sensory neuron
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
What is a message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
What carries an impulse away from neuron?
The axon.
What is the message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
What statements characterizes an excitatory neuron?
It sends an impulse back to the cell body of the neuron
