nerve cells are everywhere! for example, you get inched and it hurts. the pain sends signals to your brain. your brain then causes you to react...by saying OUCH!!! When the signals get sent to your brain, your brain tells them how to react...you bbleed, your brain tells the affected area to create a scab.

What organ composed mainly from epithelial and nervous tissues converts vibrations that are sent to the brain?

The ear is the organ composed mainly of epithelial and nervous tissues that convert vibrations into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain for processing and interpretation. The inner ear contains hair cells that help to detect sound waves and convert them into nerve impulses that travel to the brain via the auditory nerve.


What is the covering of nerve fibers made up of living cells?

what is the portion of the brain containing control certer for body's functions and emotions: means "under the inner rool"


What cranial nerve carries hearing impulses to the brain?

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.


What happens to the hair cells when the basilar membrane vibrates?

When the basilar membrane vibrates, the hair cells in the inner ear bend and trigger nerve signals that are sent to the brain for processing.


What cell makes up the optic nerve?

Not sure, since I'm working on the same assignment, but I think it is ganglion cells. the gagliano cell axons make a right angle turn at the inner face of the retina then leave the posterior aspect of the eye as the thick optic nerve. page 553 marieb&hoehn axons from the ganglion cells run along the internal surface of the retina and converge posteriorly to form the optic nerve. pg 489 human anatomy 5th ed marieb,mallatt,wilhelm

What are nerves composed of?

Nerves are composed of nerve cells; the long connecting parts of the nerve cells are called axons. The biochemistry of nerve cells is similar to that of other cells, but they do have an insulating layer, the myelin sheath, which gives them a relatively high concentration of fat.

Where does nerve conduction deafness occur?

Nerve conduction deafness is one of the two types of deafness that can happen. It occurs when there is a break in communication between the nerve cells and the inner ear.
