Is it true that nerve impulses move to the brain faster than they do to the spinal cord?
No, it is not true that nerve impulses move to the brain faster than they do to the spinal cord. In fact, nerve impulses traveling along sensory neurons typically reach the spinal cord first, as the spinal cord serves as the immediate processing center for reflex actions. From the spinal cord, some signals are then relayed to the brain for further processing. The speed of nerve impulses is primarily determined by the type of nerve fibers and their myelination, not the destination of the signal.

What information do nerve impulses require?
Nerve impulses do not carry information, they only carry impulses. It is the brain and spinal cord that interpret that impulse into information.
Where does the spinal nerve take nerve impulses?
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
Do Nerve impulses travel quickly?
yes, in woman nerve impulses travel to the brain faster than men
What does your spinal cord have to do with your nervous system?
It is what carries the nerve impulses between your body and the brain.
How are messages from the femoral nerve sent to the brain?
Messages from the femoral nerve are sent to the brain through a series of electrical impulses. These impulses travel along the nerve fibers of the femoral nerve until they reach the spinal cord, where they are then transmitted up to the brain via the spinal cord's sensory pathways. Once in the brain, the messages are interpreted and processed to produce a response or sensation.
Action handled by spinal cord?
The spinal cord channels nerve impulses from the rest of the body to the brain, and vice versa.
What cells carry impulses from sense organs to the brain and spinal cord?
Neurons (nerve cells)
What order neuron conduct sensory impulses from the brain stem and spinal cord to the thalamus?
from spinal nerve to posterior (dorsal) root
What nerve carries impulses through the spinal cord?
The spinal cord and the abdomen, limbs, and chest. Spinal nerves carry impulses between the spinal cord and the abdomen, limbs, and chest. Cranial nerves carry impulses between the brain and the neck and head.
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.
What Nerve to the brain triggers pain?
Afferent nerves carry impulses to the CNS (central nervous system: brain/spinal chord).
