It travels in one direction either afferent or efferent.
The direction of the impulse vector is determined by the direction in which the force is applied to an object. It is always along the line of action of the force. The impulse vector points in the same direction as the force on the object and causes a change in the object's momentum in that direction.
impulse is equal to force which is acting on the body and ti me in small interval which is equal to momentum.so impulse is equal to change in momentum and direction of impulse is consider the direction of force and change in momentum.
The impulse on the colliding objects will be equal and opposite. impulse = m(vf- vi)
The knee-jerk reflex is controlled by the interneurons in the spinal cord.
Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.
Neurons are functionally classified based on their structure, neurotransmitter type, and the direction of signal transmission. Structural classifications include multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar neurons, while neurotransmitter types can be excitatory or inhibitory. Direction of signal transmission can be sensory (afferent), motor (efferent), or interneurons.
Interneurons
If an impulse is applied to an object, it can assumed that there will be a change in the object's momentum. This change in momentum will depend on the magnitude and direction of the impulse applied.
A nerve impulse travels toward the actual nucleus itself to pass information.
The nerve impulse typically travels from the sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed by interneurons, and then to the motor neuron to elicit a response from the effector organ or muscle.
The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to quickly produce a reflex action in response to a stimulus, bypassing the brain.
An impulse reaches the central nervous system (CNS) from the peripheral nervous system (PNS) through neurons. Sensory neurons in the PNS transmit signals to interneurons in the CNS, which then relay the information to motor neurons to generate a response.
