What is neural impulse?
A neural Impulse is a spike of electrical activity.
What are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
What generate and transmit nerve impulse?
A sensory stimulus can generate a neural impulse, as can repeated or multiple inputs of neural signals from other neurons.A neural signal is transmitted from one neuron to anotheracross a synapse via chemicals called neurotransmitters, and a neural impulse is transmitted along an axon of a neuron by either an action potential (in an unmyelinated axon) or by saltatory conduction (in a myelinated axon).
The state of the neuron when not firing a neural impulse is known as?
Resting potential
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is firing a neural impulse?
Resting potential.
How are hormones similar to neurotransmitters?
A neural impulse is similar to an electrical signal in three ways: 1. there are electrical voltages involved in the movement of the neural impulse; 2. an electrical signal can convey information, as can a neural impulse; 3. an electrical signal can cause an action, like a car starter switch starting the engine, and a neural impulse can cause a muscle to contract to move a limb. (note that with respect to the voltages involved in the neural impulse, the voltages are created by the movement of chemicals, charged particles called ions, somewhat similar to how batteries produce voltages.) (also note that the neural impulse is the signal which moves along the axon, as an action potential.)
What is Converging Circuit?
a neural curcuit in which a single impulse is transmitted over and over is a?
What is it called when another neural impulse cannot occur?
THe absolute refractory period
Which is the correct sequence in the transmission of a neural impulse?
dendrite, cell body, axon, synapse
The reabsorption of a neurotransmitter after it has transmitted a neural impulse is called?
Reuptake
Why electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses?
Electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses because a neural impulse cause electrical impulses. Neurons use electrical impulses to send messages.
What is the light sensitive surface that converts light into neural impulses called?
The light sensitive surface that converts light into neural impulse is called the retina
