What is the name of the short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response?

The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc.


A neural circuit where a single impulse is transmitted over and over?

it would be a reverberating circuit


Is it correct that synaptic clefts prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another?

Yes, that is correct. The synaptic cleft is a small gap between neurons, and it prevents direct transmission of impulses. When an impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, allowing the impulse to be transmitted indirectly.


Space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another?

The synaptic gap, also called the synapse.


Why the transmission of nerve impulse is faster in medullated nerve fiber than in non-medullated nerve fiber?

generally the impulse is nothing but the stimulus carried to a part of body to carry out specific action in response to that stimulus.it is transmitted from one neuron to another or one neuron to another organ.this is carried all along the neuron and at the end that is at the synapse it gets diffused in neurotransmitter and again transmitted to another organ or neuron.this is carried very faster.this is started polarization of neuron and once polarized and being transmitted it cant be again polarizedthis occurs even more fastly in .mylenated neurons than in nonmylenated.bec in mylenated neurons the axon is partly covered by myleinshreath.this myleinshreath has a special property that it doesn't allow ions to pass through it.since polarization is occurred due to movement of ions in and out of axons,and the mylein shreath doesn't allow this the leaping of ions occurs.and as a result impulse been transmitted as a loop of current by taking leap at mylein shreath.while in nonmylenated ones no such leaping occurs and it is transmitted slowly all along the length of axon.so impulse transmission occurs very fast in mylenated ones.

What is the impulse response of R-L circuit?

The impulse response of an R-L circuit is an exponentially decaying signal. It represents the behavior of the circuit when subjected to a Dirac delta function input or an impulse signal. The response decays over time due to the inductor's energy storage capability.
