What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the?
Answer this question… Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the? thalamus. apex
Which nerve fiber do impulses travel slowly?
Impulses travel more slowly through unmyelinated nerve fiber.
Which of the body's communication systems operates the most quickly why?
The NERVOUS SYSTEM. It can send signals along the physical network of specialized tissues. Getting a message from the nervous system is like getting your email through your computer connected to a high speed cable. These messages arrive very fast. The NERVOUS controls your heart rate, breathing and reflexes.--JMAR14--
How does the nervous system and the circulatory system work with the muscular system?
The nervous system sends signals to make muscles move....Apexxx
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as?
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as electric impulses. Any damage to a nerve in the system will cause a breakdown in communication between nerve ending and the brain.
Is the endocrine system controls the body through nerve impulses?
The nervous system controls the body through nerve impulses. The endocrine system controls the body through hormones.
What do both the endocrine and nervous systems allow you to do?
The endocrine and nervous systems allow your body to regulate body functions. The endocrine system does so through hormones, and the nervous system through nervous impulses.
A collection of nerve fibers through which impulses travel between the central nervous system and other parts of the body?
nervous system
What are the routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system?
Nerve pathways
What is the basic unit of the nervous system that facilitates nerve impulses through the body?
Neuron
What nerve routes are followed by nerve impulses passing through the nervous system?
nerve pathways
How impulses are transmitted and generated?
the brain sends electrical shocks through our nervous system that tells our body how to move, and when to do it.
How is it possible for the GI tract to have complete reflex arcs without having to pass impulses through the central nervous system?
Ganglion
What is the name of the cell that conducts electrochemical signals in the nervous system?
Neurons use electrochemical signals to send any kind of information through the body.
What makes skeletal muscles move?
The nervous system produces electrical impulses which make muscles move through a sliding filament mechanism.
In the book the pearl why is the town like a nervous system?
The town in "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck is compared to a nervous system because news and gossip travel rapidly through its inhabitants, just like how impulses travel through a nervous system. It highlights the interconnectedness of the community and how quickly information can spread.
