Nerve impulses are usually transmitted along neurons through a process called action potential. This involves the rapid depolarization and repolarization of the neuron's membrane, which is facilitated by the movement of ions, primarily sodium and potassium. The impulse travels down the axon and is transmitted to other neurons or target tissues at the synapse through the release of neurotransmitters. This complex process allows for rapid communication within the nervous system.
What else can I help you with?
How are nerve impulses initiated and transmitted?
Nerve impulses are initiated and transmitted according to nerve reactions and messages that get passed along or transmitted along nerve synapses and zones.
Messages in your brain are transmitted by?
nerve impulses.
What nerve is highly dependent upon impulses transmitted by the pinching motion?
Median nerve
Does Neuroglia transmit nerve impulses?
No, neuroglia do not transmit nerve impulses. Neuroglia are support cells of the nervous system that help to nourish, protect, and maintain the environment of neurons. Nerve impulses are transmitted by neurons.
What is the electric signal that is transmitted throughout the body called?
Nerve impulses.
Impulses are transmitted from the inner ear to the brainstem by way of the?
cochlear nerve
What is a chronic condition where nerve impulses are not transmitted correctly?
Myasthenia Gravis
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as?
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as electric impulses. Any damage to a nerve in the system will cause a breakdown in communication between nerve ending and the brain.
Where are the structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses located?
The structures for connecting sound waves to nerve impulses are located in the inner ear. Specifically, the hair cells in the cochlea are responsible for converting sound waves into nerve impulses that can be transmitted to the brain for processing.
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.
What substance aids the transmission of nerve impulses?
Acetylcholine is one of many neurotransmitters. It's the primary NT of voluntary muscular movement. Myelin insulates the axons, allowing nerve impulses to be transmitted faster.
Nerve impulses are carried from the ear to the brain by the nerve.?
Nerve impulses from the ear to the brain are primarily transmitted by the auditory nerve, also known as the cochlear nerve. This nerve carries signals generated by hair cells in the cochlea in response to sound vibrations. Once the auditory nerve transmits these impulses, they travel to the brainstem and ultimately reach the auditory cortex for processing, allowing us to perceive sound.
