What are nerve Processes that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body?
Axons are processes that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body.
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
What impulse conduction is the fastest in neurons?
Axons conduct the nerve impulses. Dendrites receive the impulses. Possible the impulses go through the dendrites faster, though the synaptic cleft may slow this pathway. Dendrites are much shorter than axons.
How does the brain send and receive messages from our body?
The brain receive messages from the other parts of the body through nerve impulses.
What two structures directly receive an electrical impulse from the sinoatrial node?
Only one receives the signal from the SA Node and that is the A-V node.There are specialized areas of cardiac muscle tissue (1%) in the heart that are autorhythmic (self-exciting). These cells compose the CCS and are responsible for initiating and distributing cardiac (electrical) impulses throughout the heart muscle (i.e. cause the heart to beat). These specialized areas together coordinate the events of the cardiac cycle, which makes the heart an effective pump.A. Components of CCS:1. Sinoatrial Node (S-A Node):located in right uppermost atrial wall and called the PACEMAKER = self-exciting tissue (rhythmically and repeatedly [60-100 per minute] initiates cardiac impulses)2. Atrioventricular Node (A-V Node): located in interatrial septum; serves as a delay signal that allows for ventricular filling. This one will act as a back up pacemaker if needed. It is also called the Bundle of His.3. Right and left bundle branches lead downward through interventricular septum toward apex, and impulse finally reaches...4. Purkinje Fibers (Conduction Myofibers), large diameter conduction myofibers; located within the papillary muscles of the ventricles; conduct the impulse into the mass of ventricular muscle tissue.
What are the root like structures of a nerve that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body?
The dendrites are the root-like structures of a nerve that receive electrical impulses The dendrites then conduct the impulse to the cell body. Dendrites are root-like structures of a nerve cell that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body.
What are nerve Processes that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body?
Axons are processes that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body.
What is the medical term meaning root-like structures of a nerve that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body?
The medical term for root-like structures of a nerve that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body is "dendrites." Dendrites are specialized extensions of nerve cells that branch out to receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body for processing.
What is the function of a nerve tissue?
to receive and conduct electrochemical impulses
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses?
dendrites receive electrical and chemical signals from axon terminals.
What cells transmit and receive impulses?
nervous tissue.
What body tissue transmits electrochemical impulses?
Nervous tissues are notorious for conducting the electrical as well as chemical impulses. The later occurring at synapsis which is the cleft between the connection of two nerve endings. Also heart cells can conduct electrochemical impulses.
Physiological characteristics highly developed in neurons?
receive stimuli (irritability), and conduct waves of excitation, or impulses, to all parts of the body (conductivity)
What is the function of dendrons?
the function of a Dendron is to convey electrical impulses towards the cell body.
What two major cell populations in nervous tissues are highly specialized to receive stimuli and conduct waves to all body parts?
Neuroglial
