What else can I help you with?
What is a nerve impule transmitted by axons?
It is called a nerve impulse.
Is a nerve message also called a synapse?
Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.
What is a nerve message called?
Well they are sent through the nervous system.
What direction does nerve impulse travel?
Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.
What is the location from which a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to another?
synapse
Which two characteristics of axons increases the speed of nerve impulse?
diameter and presence of myelination.....
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?
Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.
What are Bundles of axons are called?
Bundles of axons are called nerves. Nerves transmit electrical signals between the brain and other parts of the body.
What is the correct order that information passes through in a neuron?
The flow of information across nerve cells is called a nerve impulse in which the axons of the cell must depolarize, repolarize and go through a refractory period before reaching the resting potential. At this point, another impulse can occur.
Why does the frog sciatic nerve give a graded response?
The frog schiatic nerve gives a graded response because the nerve is a bundle of axons and not a single axon (thus it does not show the all or none response of an axon-either generating an action potential or not). If one axon is generating an action potential then a small nerve impulse is witnessed, if all axons are simultaneously generating action potentials then a large nerve impulse is witnessed. Thus the nerve impulse is graded (it can be none, small, medium, large, larger, maximal).
The neurotransmitters of a neutron enable a nerve impulse to do what?
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
The greater the amount of coating the axon the faster the nerve impulse will be transmitted to the synapse?
myelin
