What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.
What nerve carries autonomic signals away from the cns is classified as?
The nerve that carries autonomic signals away from the central nervous system is classified as the preganglionic nerve. These nerves originate from the brain or spinal cord and synapse with postganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia.
How a light touch stimulates a nerve impulse?
A light touch stimulates a nerve impulse by activating sensory receptors in the skin called mechanoreceptors. These receptors detect mechanical deformation or pressure caused by the touch, which then triggers an electrical signal to be sent along the nerve fibers to the brain for processing. The brain interprets this signal as a sensation of touch.
Which type of nerve cell carries messages toward the brain?
Sensory neurons are the type of nerve cells that carry messages from sensory receptors towards the brain to process and interpret information.
What is the relay station for nerve impulses?
The relay station for nerve impulses is the thalamus in the brain. It receives sensory information from various parts of the body and relays it to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex for processing.
How many directions can a nerve impulse travel in?
A nerve impulse can travel in two directions: towards the brain (sensory or afferent pathway) to convey sensory information, and away from the brain (motor or efferent pathway) to control muscle movement or glandular secretion.
What functions does the nerve cells do?
they transfer nerve impulse to the brain which allows brain to function
What nerve carries the impulse to the brain from each eye?
The optic nerve
During a reflex the nerve impulse reaches?
the brain
What is the difference between afferent and efferent pathways?
The major difference is the direction of travel for nerve impulses. In the afferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling away from the brain - these tend to be motor impulses. In the efferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling towards the brain - these tend to be sensory impulses.
What branch of a nerve carries a message to the brain from a muscle?
afferent
Whiat nerve the afferent or efferent instructs your brain to avoid touching something hot?
afferent.
What is the path of a nerve impulse from your leg to your brain and back to your leg?
A nerve impulse travels from your leg to your brain through sensory neurons. Once in the brain, the impulse is processed, and a response is generated. The response travels back to your leg through motor neurons to initiate movement or action.
Nerve fibers send an impulse to the brain when the waves reach the?
Cochlea.
What nerve carries impulses away from the brain?
The efferent nerves, also known as motor nerves, carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to control muscles and glands in the body.
What is the relationship between a stimulus and a nerve impulse?
The neuron is the functional portion of the central nervous system, carrying impulses to the designated location. Neurons also have the role of interpreting an impulse, and waiting for a response. Neurons fall under the category of sensory neurons, interneurons and motor neurons.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.
