How do neurons communicate with each other in the brain?
Neurons communicate with each other in the brain through electrical and chemical signals. When a neuron is activated, it sends an electrical impulse down its axon to the synapse, where it releases neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, triggering a new electrical impulse and continuing the communication process.
How do nerve cells communicate with each other to transmit signals within the body?
Nerve cells communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it sends an electrical impulse down its length. At the end of the cell, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, a small gap between nerve cells. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the neighboring cell, triggering a new electrical impulse and continuing the signal transmission.
Where does a motor neuron send its message?
A motor neuron sends its message, in the form of an electrical signal called an action potential, to a specific muscle to stimulate contraction. This signal travels down the neuron's axon to its terminal branches, where neurotransmitters are released to activate the muscle fibers.
How does a neuron send a signal to communicate with other neurons or muscles?
A neuron sends a signal through an electrical impulse that travels down its long, slender body called an axon. When the impulse reaches the end of the axon, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters then cross the small gap between the neurons or between a neuron and a muscle cell, allowing the signal to be passed on to the next cell.
How do neurons communicate with one another to transmit information within the brain and nervous system?
Neurons communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a neuron is activated, it sends an electrical impulse down its axon to release neurotransmitters at the synapse, which are then received by the dendrites of the next neuron. This process allows for the transmission of information within the brain and nervous system.
What does a pacemaker control in the heart?
A pacemaker sends electrical shocks to the heart to beat it at a particular speed. It pulsates the heart at a set rate (eg. 60bpm) to help those who are have a slower than normal heartbeat.
How does your heart pump?
The AV node sends out an electrical impulse that causes the heart to contract.
The purpose of defibrillation is to?
It is to "restart" the heart's electrical conductivity and electrical rhythym. It, in general, sends out an electrical impulse to the heart to kickstart it.
What sends an impulse to a muscle or gland?
axon

What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to initiate the stretch reflex?
What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to indicate the stretch reflex
How does a shark find food?
It uses its incredible sense of smell more then anything. Some sharks especially hammerheads have a sixth sense that helps locate food on the ocean floor. It sends receives electrical signals sent out into the ocean by other fish. When ever a heart beats it send out an electrical impulse some fish can pick up on this electrical impulse to better target their food.
Structure that carries the heart electrical impulse into the ventricle?
The structure that carries the heart's electrical impulse into the ventricles is called the bundle of His. It is a collection of specialized muscle fibers located in the walls of the heart's chambers that conducts the electrical signal from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles, initiating their contraction.
Does blood kept your heart going?
Nope, your heart pumps in a rythym due to automatic electrical impulses sent from your hypothalamus (reptillian brain) to a node (Sinoatrial) in the atrial wall (heart muscle), this node in turn sends the impulse to the atrioventricular node which makes the muscle cells in the rest of the hear contract, the noise of your heartbeat is these two seperate contractions which happen close together

What is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals?
A neuron is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals when stimulated
What statements characterizes an excitatory neuron?
It sends an impulse back to the cell body of the neuron
