Which nerve fiber do impulses travel slowly?
Impulses travel more slowly through unmyelinated nerve fiber.
What lobe has impulses traveling down the cranial nerve 2?
impulses travel down cranial nerve 2 to what lobe
How fast do nerves impulses travel?
Nerve impulses travel through nerve fibers via a action potential and the speed at which the impulse travels depends on the type of nerve fibre. This can range from 100m/s in the case of touch to 20-30 m/s when you're thinking.
What is impulse conduction is fastest in neurons?
Impulses that travel along myelinated neurons are the fastest.
How are neurotransmitters different from the impulses that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?
no you give an answer im the one that asked the question
How do nerve cell works?
The dendrites of one neuron send electrical impulses called synapses to the axons of other neurons to transport information.
What type of muscle tissue has a gap junction?
Cardiac muscle tissue has gap junctions to allow impulses to travel quickly though the tissue so the two atria can contract as one and the two ventricles can contract as one.
How fast does myelin sheath travel?
The speed at which your nerve impulses travels is dependent on the type of fiber. On fibers that allow the nerve to travel faster can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour.
Do Nerve impulses travel quickly?
yes, in woman nerve impulses travel to the brain faster than men
Which nerve fiber do impulses travel slowly?
Impulses travel more slowly through unmyelinated nerve fiber.

How fast nerve impulses travel?
Nerve impulses travel through nerve fibers, and the speed of which they travel depends on the type of nerve fiber. They travel usually around 86 miles per hour.
How nerves travel in our body?
They do not travel - their position is fixed throughout the body. Nerve impulses travel.
Saltatory conduction refers to the conduction of impulses in?
It is the "skipping" pattern that impulses follow to travel down nerve axons.
How long does it take a bullet to go half of a mile?
Bullets travel at differen speeds.Bullets travel at differen speeds.Bullets travel at differen speeds.Bullets travel at differen speeds.
What lobe has impulses traveling down the cranial nerve 2?
impulses travel down cranial nerve 2 to what lobe
Where do impulses travel?
Nerve impulses travel up through nerves, into the spinal cord and into one of the different lobes of the brain depending on where the impulse comes from. For example, if the impulse comes from your ear, the impulse would travel to the temporal lobe.
