Where does a motor neuron send its message?
The Motor in an abafatirc muscle so it sends an inpluse to the heart
What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to initiate the stretch reflex?
What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to indicate the stretch reflex
Does the motor neuron send a signal to or from the muscle fiber?
Sensory Neuron sends info to the brain while the motor sends the info to the muscle fiber.The motor neurone sends a signal from the CNS or PNS to the effector muscle or gland. Therefore the motor neurone sends a signal TO the muscle fibre.
What is an effector cell?
The effector cell responds to a nerve impulse and can be either a muscle cell or a gland cell.
When a muscle contracts it does what?
In order for a muscle to contract, the brain sends a nerve impulse to the muscle it wants to contract. The nerve impulse triggers the potassium inside the muscle fiber cell to switch places with the calcium outside the cell wall, thereby feeding the cell and contracting the muscle. A second nerve impulse from the brain triggers the calcium to switch places with the potassium, releasing the contracted muscle.
When a single neuron sends a strong enough impulse to a muscle that how many muscle fibers does it cause to contract?
This will depend upon the number of muscle fibers the nerve innervates. However, all fibers innervated by the nerve should contract in response to the neuronal impulse.
Does brain have nerve?
The nervous system is made up of three parts: the receptor, the decider, and the effector. The receptor receives an stimulus and creates an electric impulse to be sent to the brain. The brain receives this impulse and decides what to do in order to react to the stimulus. Your brain then makes a decision and sends out an electric impulse to the effector which moves the muscle or activates a gland in your body which is a reaction to the stimulus.
What The Hypothalmous sends signals to?
Hypothalamus sends signals to the Pituitary gland.
What moves the bone?
Basically it's muscle. The brain sends the electrical impulse through the nervous system to the muscle(s) required to perform a certain task. The muscles receive the electrical impulses causing them to contract. Tendons connect muscles to bone, which allow the muscle's movement to pull the bone in the way you desire, allowing the body to move. Summary: Brain sends electrical signal to muscle, muscle tightens, pulls tendon which pulls bone.
A reflex that does not pass through the brain is termed as?
Simple, unconditioned or natural reflexes do not involve the brain. These reflexes occur when a receptor that goes to the spinal cord is stimulated by an impulse or effector. The effector neuron sends a response to the muscle or the gland thus causing an instant action. An example of this type of action would be when you blink your eye due to strong light.
First step in a reflex arc?
A reflex arc involves the following components:The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus.The sensory neuron transmits the impulse to the spinal cord.The integration center involves one synapse (monosynaptic reflex arc) or two or more synapses (polysynaptic reflex arc) in the gray matter of the spinal cord.A motor neuron transmits a nerve impulse from the spinal cord to a peripheral region.An effector is a muscle or gland that receives the impulse from the motor neuron. In somatic reflexes, the effector is skeletal muscle. In autonomic (visceral) reflexes, the effector is smooth or cardiac muscle, or a gland.
How do you move your muscles?
When you want to move a muscle, your brain sends a message out to the muscle you want to move, and the muscle sends a message back to your brain that your moving it and where.
