The olfactory nerve carries impulses from odor-detecting cells to the brain.
Odors, or smells.
Odors, or smells.
A is for the axon, which is a long, thin extension of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells.
The long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and transmit electrical signals to other neurons or muscle cells.
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
When particles dissolve in the air and you detect smells, it is called olfaction. Olfaction is the sense of smell, where specialized receptor cells in the nasal cavity are activated by airborne molecules, allowing you to perceive different scents.
Nervous tissue carries electrical impulses from the brain throughout the body. This tissue is composed of neurons, which transmit signals, and glial cells, which support and protect the neurons. The electrical impulses, or action potentials, allow for communication between the brain and various organs and muscles, facilitating coordination and response to stimuli.
Neurons send electric impulses to your cells via the dendrites. The Axons carry the electrical impulses away from the cell. This process sends out signals to your brain for all of your body processes such as muscle movement.
Eating food is not a response of human white blood cells to disease. White blood cells respond to disease by recognizing and attacking pathogens, producing antibodies, and coordinating immune responses within the body.
the "vestibulocochlear" nerve is used for hearing. the hair cells of the cochlea and vestibular are how the nerve receives the information. The nerve is (VIII) out of the 12 cranial nerves.
