What is any drug that inhibits transmission of sensory impulses at a synapse?
A drug that inhibits transmission of sensory impulses at a synapse is a nerve block agent. These drugs work by blocking the transmission of nerve signals through the synapse, effectively reducing or eliminating sensation in a specific area of the body. Nerve block agents are commonly used for regional anesthesia and pain management procedures.
What cbrne agent inhibits the enzyme ach allowing ach to accumulate affecting the way cells transmit signals to the body?
These agents are called Vesicant agents.
Can drinking too much alcohol impair the nerve signals that control breathing?
Yes
What part of the neuron that facilitates synaptic transmission of a signals is called?
the part that facilitates the the transmission of signals is collectively known as the axon but more peculiarly known as the nerve endings.
What is the advantage of saltatory conduction in nerve impulses?
The advantage of saltatory conduction in nerve impulses is that it allows for faster transmission of signals along the nerve fibers. This is because the electrical impulses "jump" from one node of Ranvier to the next, rather than traveling continuously along the entire length of the nerve fiber. This speeds up the transmission of signals and conserves energy for the nerve cell.
How do depressants slow down the transmission of nerve impulses?
they stop the signals travelling down the nerves by blokcing the synapses
What are the differences between myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers in terms of their conduction speed and efficiency?
Myelinated nerve fibers conduct electrical signals faster and more efficiently compared to unmyelinated nerve fibers. This is because the myelin sheath insulates and speeds up the transmission of signals along the nerve fibers.
What is a synapse and how does it function in the nervous system?
A synapse is a junction between two nerve cells where signals are transmitted. It functions by allowing the transmission of electrical or chemical signals from one nerve cell to another, enabling communication within the nervous system.
What are tiny pulses of electricity that move along a nerve fiber?
Nerve signals Thats what my crossword was.
What will conduct a nerve impulse faster thick or thin axon?
Thick axons conduct nerve impulses faster than thin axons because they have a lower resistance to the flow of electrical signals. This allows for quicker transmission of signals along the axon.
Is the nerve blocked with anesthetic by reducing membrane nutrition?
Local anesthetics work by blocking the sodium channels on the nerve membrane, preventing the conduction of nerve signals. This process inhibits the sensation of pain by preventing the generation and propagation of action potentials along the nerve fibers. It does not directly affect membrane nutrition.
Which nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
The Vegal Nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart
