What is the path of an electrical impulse as it moves through a neuron?
The electrical impulse travels into the dendrites, the "input" of the neuron, and into the soma or "body" where the signal gets processed. From there, the processed signal travels down the axon or "output" and into the dendrites of another neuron.
What are the sequence of events that occur within the nervous system from the point you touched the hot stove with your hand to the point you jerked your hand away from the stove?
1. Sensory Receptors detect danger(eg. hot stove in this case) 2. Signal is sent through a sensory neuron to the spinal cord 3.Interneuron in the spinal cord relays the message to the motor neuron 4.Motor neuron sends a message to the effector(eg. muscle) 5. Hand jerks away Sensory neuron also sends a sinal to the brain. Sensation of the evernt is detected continuosly but usually after the defensive action has been taken.
What is the space between two neurons called?
The space between the ending of one neuron and the communication with the next neuron is called the synapse, or sometimes it is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft. But synapse is the common term.
Steps in impulse transmission?
Brain send the message via nerve impulses involving neurons which use the neuro-transmitter AcetylcholineEach nerve impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron's. the impulse move rapidly toward the neuron's cell body and then down the axon until it reaches the axon tip.a nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of electrical and chemical signals.Acetylcholine- a neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction triggers a muscleaction potential, which leads to muscle contraction
A wave pattern travels down the length of the axon of what kind of cell?
A wave pattern travels down the length of the axon of a nerve cell. A nerve cell, also called a neuron, is a specialized cell that transmits nerve impulses.
What is the message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
In what order does a message travel through the neuron?
A message travels through a neuron in the following order: dendrites receive the signal, the signal is passed through the cell body (soma), travels down the axon, and finally reaches the synaptic terminals where it is transmitted to the next neuron.
The message that travels through a neuron?
The message that travels through a neuron is an electrical impulse called an action potential. It is generated when the neuron is stimulated and travels along the neuron's axon, facilitated by the movement of charged ions. This ultimately allows the neuron to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
In which direction does the message travel in the neuron?
it travels through the dendrite to the synaptic terminal to the axon
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
State the three main parts of a neuron and describe how an impulse travels through a neuron?
Okay, information is received through the dendrites, and then moves on the the cell body. From there, the cell's axon passes the message on to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
How does a message travel from one neuron to the next?
It travels from the brain to the Spinal Cord.
What is the electrical message that travels along a neuron?
The electrical message that travels along a neuron is called an action potential. It is a brief change in electrical voltage that travels down the length of the neuron, allowing for communication between neurons and the transmission of signals throughout the nervous system.
What are the parts of the neuron that the messages travels through?
The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.
What is the correct route a message takes within a neuron?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! When a message travels within a neuron, it starts at the dendrites, moves through the cell body, and then down the axon. Finally, it reaches the axon terminals where it can pass on to the next neuron. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, each step is important in creating a masterpiece of communication in our brains.
How does a message travel through a single neuron?
When a message gets sent to a neuron from the dendrite it goes through the cell body to the tip of the dendrite where it leaps to the next dendrite.
Explain the communication process of neurons in the brain?
When transmitting a message, a signal travels through the neuron until the cell ends at the terminal. In order to propagate the signal to the next neuron chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) are released into the inter-neuronal space (synapse). This triggers signal initiation in the second neuron.
