What is the complex of tiny islands of gray matter within the brain that acts as a filter for incoming sensory impulses?
reticular formation
What is the connection between sensory nerves and the neurons in the brain?
Sensory nerves transmit information from sensory receptors in the body to the neurons in the brain. When sensory receptors detect stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain, they send signals through sensory nerves to the brain. Neurons in the brain then process and interpret these signals, allowing us to perceive and respond to the sensory information.
What sends impulses to the brain?
sensory neurons
What does the sensory area in a brain do?
In the pituitary gland
What is the meaning of sensory strip?
The sensory strip is located in the human brain close to the frontal lobe. This part of the brain is responsible for controlling the five senses.
What part of the brain directs incoming sensory messages that you can see hear and smell?
thalamus (novanet)
What part of the brain acts a relay station for incoming sensory information?
cerebellum
How are drugs harmful to the nervous system?
The central nervous system directs the functions of all tissues of the body. The peripheral nervous system receives thousands of sensory inputs and transmits them to the brain via the spinal cord. The brain processes this incoming information and discards 99% as unimportant.
What area in the brain acts as a final switching station for most incoming sensory information?
thalamus
What brain structure directs sensory and motor neuron pathways passing between spinal cord and cerebral cortex?
dendrons
Which brain structure plays a key role in sensory integration?
The thalamus plays a key role in sensory integration by relaying sensory information from various parts of the body to the cerebral cortex. It filters and directs this information to the appropriate areas of the brain for further processing.
What is the complex of tiny islands of gray matter within the brain that acts as a filter for incoming sensory impulses?
reticular formation
Which part of the brain acts a relay station for incoming sensory information?
cerebellum
Is the brain involved in a reflex arc?
yes brain i s involved in reflex actions as it makes a pathway for sensory neuron to connect with and brain then directs the motor neuron to take a particular action which is given by effector !(muscles)
What is known as the gatekeeper to the cerebrum?
the gate keeper of human brain is thallamus which is the floor of dihensephallon. It sort out the outgoing impulse from brain and incoming impulse from spinal cord.
Screening the stimuli that reach the cerebrum?
The thalamus acts as a sensory relay station, screening and filtering incoming stimuli before sending them to the cerebral cortex. This helps prevent sensory overload and allows the brain to focus on relevant information. Additionally, the reticular activating system in the brainstem plays a role in alertness and attention, further filtering and modulating incoming sensory input.
Do sensory pathways travel to or from the brain?
Sensory pathways tavel to the brain.
