the path of a refex impulse
i dont know the answer
the brain
What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to indicate the stretch reflex
A nervous impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron, travels through the cell body and axon, and then is passed on to the next neuron via a synapse. This sequence repeats until the impulse reaches its destination, such as a muscle or gland, where it triggers a response.
C reflex
When a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, an impulse is transmitted via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the impulse is processed and a response is generated, which is then sent via a motor neuron to the effector (muscle or gland) to carry out the reflex reaction. This entire pathway occurs rapidly and automatically without involvement of the brain.
because it is the cells
A nerve impulse travels toward the actual nucleus itself to pass information.
In a reflex action, a sensory neuron detects a stimulus and sends an impulse to the spinal cord. The signal is then processed by interneurons, which relay the impulse to a motor neuron. This motor neuron transmits the signal to the appropriate muscle, causing it to contract and respond quickly, often before the brain is aware of the stimulus. This rapid response helps protect the body from harm.
No, during a reflex arc, the nerve impulse does not reach the brain before the reflex action occurs. Instead, the impulse travels from the sensory receptor through the spinal cord to the motor neurons, which directly trigger a response. This allows for a quick reaction to stimuli, bypassing the brain for immediate response. The brain may become aware of the stimulus and the reflex action afterward.
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.
