State why there is a brief delay in the transmission of an impulse across the synapse?
The impulse must go from one neuron to the next. To do this, it must change from an electrical to a chemical signal, and back to an electrical signal when it reaches the next neuron. Electrical signals are impossibly fast, but neurotransmitters cannot cross a synapse that fast. So, the impulse is at its slowest point when it crosses the synapse.

How is a stimulus transmitted across a synapse?
Neurons are responsible for transmitting a stimulus across a synapse. The electric potential of the neuron is sensitive to changes in the resting state and sets off electric transmissions.
What does the impulse momentum theorem state?
The impulse momentum theorem states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse applied to it. Mathematically, it can be expressed as the product of force and time, resulting in a change in momentum.
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is firing a neural impulse?
Resting potential.
The state of the neuron when not firing a neural impulse is known as?
Resting potential
What does the impulse-momentum theorem state?
Impulse equals change in momentum. "Apex" The final momentum of any object (or collection of objects) must equal to its initial momentum plus any impulse imparted to the object (or collection of objects).
When an axon is not conducting an impulse is known as?
When an axon is not conducting an impulse, it is said to be in a resting state. This is when the axon maintains a negative charge inside relative to the outside.
What happens to a muscle when an electrical impulse from a nerve stops?
When the electrical impulse from a nerve stops, the muscle relaxes and returns to its resting state. This is because the nerve impulse initiates the release of calcium ions in the muscle cells, leading to muscle contraction. When the nerve impulse stops, the calcium ions are reabsorbed, causing the muscle to relax.
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse?
The state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse is called the resting potential. This is when the neuron is negatively charged inside compared to outside, waiting for a stimulus to change its electrical charge and initiate an action potential.
What name is given to a neuron that is not sending a nervous impulse?
A neuron that is not sending a nervous impulse is typically referred to as a resting neuron. In its resting state, the neuron is polarized with a negative internal charge.
What is the legal age to drive across a state border?
The legal age to drive across a state boarder is 17.
When was Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited created?
Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited was created on 2005-06-06.
Can police follow you across state lines?
Yes, police can follow you across state lines as long as they have probable cause to do so.
