What else can I help you with?
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
Where does the nerve impulse travel from the reflex arc?
The nerve impulse typically travels from the sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed by interneurons, and then to the motor neuron to elicit a response from the effector organ or muscle.
How long does it take for an impulse to travel from one neuron to another?
one second
How does a signal travel through a neuron and what processes are involved in its transmission?
A signal travels through a neuron by first being received at the dendrites, then passing through the cell body and down the axon as an electrical impulse. At the axon terminal, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse to transmit the signal to the next neuron. This process involves a combination of electrical and chemical signaling within the neuron.
How nervous impulse travel in body and diagram?
Nervous impulses travel along neurons through a process called action potential, which occurs when a neuron is stimulated by an external signal. This stimulation causes sodium ions to flow into the neuron, leading to a rapid change in electrical charge that propagates along the axon to the synapse. At the synapse, neurotransmitters are released to transmit the signal to the next neuron. A simple diagram would illustrate a neuron with labeled parts: dendrites, cell body, axon, and synaptic terminal, showing the direction of impulse travel.
Where do nerve impulses travel?
Nerve impulses travel up through nerves, into the spinal cord and into one of the different lobes of the brain depending on where the impulse comes from. For example, if the impulse comes from your ear, the impulse would travel to the temporal lobe.
What is the function of the dentrites?
Dendrites are attaches to the axon terminals of other neurons. The nerve impulse travel from other neurons into the corresponding neuron via dendrites.
How an impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons?
An impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons through a process called synaptic transmission. At the gap, known as a synapse, neurotransmitters are released by the sending neuron, which then bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, triggering a new electrical signal to continue the impulse along the nerve pathway.
How does a signal travel down a neuron and what processes are involved in its transmission?
A signal travels down a neuron through a process called neurotransmission. When a signal reaches the end of one neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the small gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the next neuron, causing an electrical signal to be generated and travel down the length of the neuron. This process involves the opening and closing of ion channels, which allow ions to flow in and out of the neuron, creating an electrical impulse that travels along the neuron's axon.
What is released when an impulse reaches the end of a neuron?
The impulse ends in the terminal or synaptic knob. Here neurotransmitters are put in vesicles and travel across the synaptic cleft to the next neuron.
What is the correct route taken by an impulse after it haws a left relay neurone?
After passing through a left relay neuron, the impulse would travel to the right side of the brain to be processed in the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher brain functions including sensory perception and motor control.
Where do impulses travel?
Nerve impulses travel up through nerves, into the spinal cord and into one of the different lobes of the brain depending on where the impulse comes from. For example, if the impulse comes from your ear, the impulse would travel to the temporal lobe.
