What is impulse conduction is fastest in neurons?
Impulses that travel along myelinated neurons are the fastest.
Nerve impulses travel to the muscles from the spinal cord through?
afferent neurons
What is the relationship between a stimulus and a nerve impulse?
The neuron is the functional portion of the central nervous system, carrying impulses to the designated location. Neurons also have the role of interpreting an impulse, and waiting for a response. Neurons fall under the category of sensory neurons, interneurons and motor neurons.
Impulses from the sense organs travel to the brain along what?
Sensory neurons
What is the space between neurons across which chemical messages pass?
The space between neurons is called the synaptic cleft. It is where neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron, travel across the cleft, and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit chemical messages.
Are motor neurons an electrical synapse?
no,motor neurons are not electrical synapse but are normal nerve cells.they help in transmission of electrical impulses from the site of stimulus towards the spinal cord.the impulses have to travel and cross certain spaces or junctions between two consecutive nerves,the axon bulb of one to dendrites of next neuron.
What neuron moves the impulses to the brain?
The brain is the control, and the whole reaction of a reflex arc starts with a stimulus, ie, touching a hot flame, the detector of this stimulus being the receptor. The electrical impulses travel through the sensory neuron to which it is then carried to the synapse (impulses reach the brain) the energy is then transferred across the synapse, to the relay neuron and then to the motor neuron, finally reaching the effector, (mainly muscle or gland) to move away the body part.
Which of the following types of neurons carries impulses away from the CNS?
They are called as motor neurons. They are same like sensory neurons. Only difference the direction of the nerve impulse. The nerve impulse travel from dendrites to body to axon to axon terminals.
What circuit types is exemplified by impulses that travel from a single neuron of the brain and activate a hundred or more motor neurons in the spinal cord?
Diverging circuits
How do nerve cell works?
The dendrites of one neuron send electrical impulses called synapses to the axons of other neurons to transport information.
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.
What is the function of the intercalated disc?
Basically, the cardiac action potential travel across them, making it easier for the electrical impulses to move quickely.
