How does a message jump across the synaptic gap and passes to the next neuron?
Nerve impulses, which are electrical, do not jump across the synaptic gap at synapses. Instead, the arrival of a nerve impulse at the axon terminal triggers the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters from the axon terminal into the synaptic gap, the nerve impulses then travel across the chemicals to the place where it needs to go to
How do electrical impulses go across synapses?
An electrial nerve impulse travels across a synapse by diffusion. The neurotransmitter substance from the pre-synaptic cleft travels across the synapse via diffusion. This is then received by receptors in the post synaptic cleft
What happens when a nerve cell is stimulated by another nerve cell?
they go nerve to nerve till it gets to the brain first is a nerve then the dendrite then the brian
If Blood PTH level is high 143 and urine calcium high 331 but blood calcium normal 9.6 would this indicate a parathyroid problem?
Hard to say, go to www.parathyroid.com to learn all about parathroid disease. A.maintenance of blood pressure. B.muscle contraction. C.transmission of nerve impulses.
Why is synapse important to the nervous system?
Synapses are important because they enable signal transmission in the body. These signals are the nerve impulses, which go across and between neurons. This process occurs in the synaptic cleft of the central nervous system.
What is a description of carpal tunnel syndrome associated with nerve compression?
In carpal tunnel syndrome the tendons and ligaments of the wrist restricts the space for the nerves that go to the fingers and thumb, as a consequence the nerve's ability to transmit impulses are affected.
What are the three ways in which neurons are specialized to transmit nerve impulses very quickly?
they turn in to light and go through three bones...
What direction does nerve impulse travel?
Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.
What impulse conduction is the fastest in neurons?
Axons conduct the nerve impulses. Dendrites receive the impulses. Possible the impulses go through the dendrites faster, though the synaptic cleft may slow this pathway. Dendrites are much shorter than axons.
Describe breifly the nervous system?
The nervous system in the human body can best be described as a super highway. Nerve impulses reach the brain and go back to the significant area in seconds.

Where are the sensory receptors sensitive to changes in oxygen levels in the blood located?
The baroreceptors, located in the carotid sinuses, respond to changes and absolute levels of blood pressure. These nerves go to centers in the brain stem and trigger changes in heart rate and venous tone.
What is the structure of a neuron and what kinds of neurons are found in the body?
A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called ­dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only one axon. An axon, however, can have more than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell.Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. Nerve fibers are often arranged in parallel bundles covered with connective tissue, something like a package of uncooked spaghetti wrapped in cellophane. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.
How do electrical impulses go across synapses?
An electrial nerve impulse travels across a synapse by diffusion. The neurotransmitter substance from the pre-synaptic cleft travels across the synapse via diffusion. This is then received by receptors in the post synaptic cleft
Where does the blood from the left ventricle go?
left venatricle pumps the blood in to aorta rapidly 75% blood is pumped : aorta divides in to artries which
Why is the spinal cord and brain part of the CNS?
true or false do the Spinal nerve branches begin in the neck and continue to the midspine?
Why nervous system coordination so fast?
the Nervous system's coordination is so fast mainly because the human body has thousands or even million of nerves cells that are connected to one another. every action that happen in our body is transmitted to the brain. what runs in our nerve cells are called electric impulses the speed of electric impulses is just a split seconds. example: when you accidentally touched a hot object the reflex of our body is to let go of it. because the nerves cells already send electric impulses to our brain that the thing we touched is hot. then the brain will send another electric impulses to our hands that says let go of it its hot. this process happens within split seconds only.
