How would a nerve carrying impulses from your brain to your eyelids be different to one carrying impulses to your heart?
The nerve carrying impulses from your brain to your eyelids would be a cranial nerve, such as the oculomotor nerve (responsible for eyelid movement), while the nerve carrying impulses to your heart would be part of the autonomic nervous system, such as the vagus nerve (regulating heart rate). Additionally, the nerve to the heart would primarily involve motor signals, while the nerve to the eyelids would involve sensory and motor signals for eyelid function.
What makes our skeleton?
the contraction of our muscles which are contracted by neurones carrying impulses from the brain
What is the portion of the brain that contains cerebral peduncles?
The cerebral peduncles are located in the midbrain, which is a portion of the brainstem. They are responsible for carrying nerve impulses between the cerebrum and the rest of the brain and spinal cord.
What do electrical impulses of the brain cause?
Electrical impulses of the brain are the nervous impulses that the nervous system uses to control body functions. These impulses may be relayed within the brain, or may be carried to the peripheral nervous system.
What is an EEG of the brain?
An EEG is an electroencephalogram which is a device that measures brain activity. If there any problems in the brain they can be seen on an EEG. The brain produces electrical impulses and there are different patterns of impulses. It is this different patterns that are measured with and EEG that can show doctors what might be wrong.
How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?
The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
Long projections of a neuron that propagate impulses away from the cell body?
An Axon, otherwise known as a nerve fiber, is designed to carry electrical impulses away from the neuron. This is important for carrying information around the body, to and from the brain, muscles, and glands.
What is the difference between ascending and descending impulses?
Ascending impulses refer to nerve signals traveling towards the brain, carrying sensory information from the body. Descending impulses, on the other hand, refer to nerve signals traveling from the brain down the spinal cord to control motor functions and movement in the body.
Which type of neurons carries impulses sense organs to the spinal cord or brain?
Sensory neurons
Impulses that stimulate the olfactory receptors are transmitted along the?
Olfactory nerve to the brain's olfactory bulb, where they are processed and interpreted as specific smells. The olfactory nerve is responsible for carrying information about odors from the nose to the brain.
Does the olfactory tract carry equilibrium impulses?
No, the olfactory tract is responsible for carrying sensory information related to the sense of smell from the nose to the brain. Equilibrium impulses are carried by the vestibulocochlear nerve, which relays information about balance and spatial orientation from the inner ear to the brain.
