The message that travels through a neuron?
A neural impulse. Specifically, once it fires, an action potential.
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse?
Resting potential.
What is the result of sodium ions moving across the axons membrane during an action potential?
a neural impulse(electrical impulse) is released and it travels down the axon of a neuron to the axon terminals. At the axon terminal there are sacs called synaptic vesicles which contain chemicals called neurotransmitters. When the neural impulse reaches the terminal it causes the sacs to move closer to the membrane of the axon terminal and release the neurotransmitters inside. Then neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic gap and stimulate the dendrites of another neuron and the whole process starts again.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
A neural circuit where a single impulse is transmitted over and over?
it would be a reverberating circuit
What are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
What is neural impulse?
A neural Impulse is a spike of electrical activity.
The reabsorption of a neurotransmitter after it has transmitted a neural impulse is called?
Reuptake
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
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 abrupt shift in the charge of a neuron from a negative to a positive charge is known as?
It is probably called as action 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.)
