What else can I help you with?
Why are there holes in the cribriform plate?
The holes in the cribriform plate are called olfactory foramina, and they allow the olfactory nerve fibers to pass from the nasal cavity to the brain. This allows for the sense of smell to be transmitted to the brain for processing.
What cranial nerve doesn't pass through the thalamus?
CN 1 does not pass thru, from what I read. It's the only one.
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
Sound waves pass through the cochlea and cause tiny hair cells to bend, which generates electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are interpreted as sounds.
Why would a lack neurotransmitters change the function of the brain?
Yes, signals would not pass between the nerve cells.
Why would a lack of neurotransmitter change the function of the brain?
Yes, signals would not pass between the nerve cells.
Would a lack of neurotransmitters change the function of the brain?
Yes, signals would not pass between the nerve cells.
How does the brain help your feeling?
There are a number of ways that the brain helps your feelings. One of these ways involves the use of the body's neurotransmitters, which are nerve cells that pass notes through the body to the brain.
What nerve that connected in the nose?
the olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) sensations pass along the cranial nerves directly to the brain. smell signals travel from the olfactory nerve (made up of groups of nerve fibres ) to a patch of the cortex located in the temporal lobe.
What are the bones give pass to the olfactory nerve fibers?
The bones that give passage to the olfactory nerve fibers are the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. The olfactory nerve fibers pass through small openings called cribriform foramina in the cribriform plate, allowing them to enter the nasal cavity and transmit sensory information related to smell.
What carries electrical impulses from the ear to the brain?
The auditory nerve carries electrical impulses from the ear to the brain. It connects the hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear to the brainstem, allowing sound signals to be transmitted and interpreted by the brain.
What is the space where neurotransmitters pass from nerve to nerve?
synapse
What is the structure of the nervous system?
Most of the neurons of the central nervous system are in the brain. The brain leads to a brain stem, which in turn connects to the spinal cord, from which nerve travel all over the body. There are also nerves which do not pass through the spine but which connect the brain directly to various parts of the head, including the optic nerve which goes to the eyes, and the auditory nerve which goes to the ears. In addition to the central nervous system there is also an autonomic nervous system which is centered in the solar plexus; it is kind of an auxiliary brain for the digestive system.
