Which neuron will get a nerve impulse to an effector cell the fastest?
it transmits a signal through the the central nervous system ( CNS ) until it reaches a salivary gland (effector) :)
What is an example of integration by the nervous system?
Example: when you step on a nail, your body perceives a stimulus (change in external or internal environment) receptor is the specific thing identifying stimulus, in this case, the skin, then a nervous impulse is generated and is transmitted through a chain of neurons towards central nervous system, sent to the brain where the impulse is interpreted (integration) by the brain, brain will send off new impulse via motor neurons through spinal cord through nerve to muscle to carry out response.
Which structure if the neuron transmits an impulse through the myelin sheath?
Neural impulses (action potentials) are transmitted through axons which are covered in a myelin sheath for insulation.
What is the difference between motor and sensory neurons?
The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.
Three differences between sensory neurone and motor neurone?
# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.
Does the central nervous system propel food through the intestines?
No, the autonomic nervous system does.
What is nervous coordination?
The nervous system recives stimuly from the external environment through the sense organs and transmit their information through the central nervous system. The central nervous system analysis it and than sends signal to the stimulate responses by the specific organs.
How does your brain commuincate with your body?
Through the Central Nervous System
Space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another?
The synaptic gap, also called the synapse.
What is the relationship between a stimulus and a reponse?
The stimulus is your bodies reaction to something, say you burnt your hand, this is the stimulus. The reaction is your bodies response to it. In this sense the stimulus will be sensed by sensory neurones which pass an electrical impulse through relay neurons until the impulse gets to the Central Nervous System. This then, gives out another impulse which travels down a Motor Neuron to the muscle telling your hand to be removed from the surface.....
What is the path that nervous impulse takes through the nervous system?
sensory neurone --> enters spinal cord --> relay neurone --> brain(is not a reflex action) or motor neurone(if action is reflex)
If A nerve impulse travels through your nervous system at an avg rate of 132 m per s How much time does it take for an impulse a distance of 1.49 m to reach your brain?
11 mS
