What else can I help you with?
What carries impulses from one neuron to another neuron?
sensory neurons
What is synapses?
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
Does muscle tissue conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to another and coordinates body activity?
Muscle tissue cannot conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to the other. Moreover, skeletal muscle tissue cannot even pass impulses between themselves and they should be stimulated by single branches of neurons. However, cardiac muscle cells has the unique ability to conduct impulses between themselves through gap junctions.
Does myelin sheath transmits impulses from one nuron to another?
Myelin sheath never transmits the impulse from one neuron to another. On the contrary these are insulating cells which prevent transmission of nerve impulses.
What does neuron d0?
A neuron is a single unit of nerve fiber. Most neurons jobs are to allow chemical and electrical impulses to pass from one part of the body to the other. Neurons in the brain function the same way, sending impulses back and forth.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
What is the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?
When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.
What Chemical messengers that transport nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another are called?
Chemical messengers that transmit nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another are called neurotransmitters. These molecules are released from the axon terminals of one neuron and bind to receptors on the dendrites of another neuron to propagate the signal. Common neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
Why is it helpful to have impulses moving only in one direction in a neuron?
Your neurons are adapted in such a way that impulses move only in one direction.
How does information pass from one neuron to another?
Information passes from one neuron to another through a process called synaptic transmission. When an action potential reaches the end of one neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, leading to the generation of a new action potential in the receiving neuron.
The cellular unit of the nervous system is the neuron What is the major function of this cell type?
Transmit messages (nerve impulses) from one part of the body to another
What are the routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system?
Nerve impulses travel in one direction along a neuron, from the dendrites, through the cell body, down the axon, and finally to the axon terminals. At the axon terminals, neurotransmitters are released to communicate with the next neuron or target cell. This process allows the nerve impulse to pass through the nervous system efficiently.
