What is the name of the short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response?

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.


If you accidentally step on a tack with your bare foot the pathway that the nerve impulse takes from your foot to your leg is called?

The pathway that the nerve impulse takes from your foot to your leg is called the sensory pathway. This pathway includes sensory neurons that carry signals from the foot to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where the sensation of pain is perceived and a motor response is initiated to move away from the tack.


How an impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons?

An impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons through a process called synaptic transmission. At the gap, known as a synapse, neurotransmitters are released by the sending neuron, which then bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, triggering a new electrical signal to continue the impulse along the nerve pathway.


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.


The neurotransmitters of a neutron enable a nerve impulse to do what?

Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.


What carries the nerve impulse from the central nervous system to an effector?

Nerve impulses are carried from the central nervous system to the effector organs (muscles or glands) by motor neurons. These motor neurons form a pathway known as the efferent pathway.


How does an impulse travel through the heart?

An impulse travels through the heart by moving from the sinoatrial (SA) node to the atrioventricular (AV) node, then through the bundle of His, the bundle branches, and finally to the Purkinje fibers. This pathway coordinates the contraction of the heart muscle, leading to a synchronized heartbeat.


In coronary conduction the electrical impulse is released at what level of the coronary electrical system?

With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, the heart has an extra nerve, or "accessory pathway" that electrically connects the _____ to the _____.


The simplest pathway of an inpulse is what?

A simple reflex arc that only involves two neurons; these are usually found in the digestive system.

Right bundle branch block side affects?

In patients with right bundle branch block (RBBB), the nerve impulse is conducted slowly or not at all. The right ventricle finally receives the impulse through muscle-to-muscle spread, outside the regular nerve pathway.
