What else can I help you with?
Are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Why electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses?
Electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses because a neural impulse cause electrical impulses. Neurons use electrical impulses to send messages.
What is the light sensitive surface that converts light into neural impulses called?
The light sensitive surface that converts light into neural impulse is called the retina
What are responsible for converting sensory messages into neural impulses?
Sensory receptors, such as photoreceptors in the eyes, mechanoreceptors in the skin, and chemoreceptors in the nose, are responsible for converting sensory messages (like light, pressure, and chemicals) into neural impulses. These neural impulses are then transmitted to the brain for processing and interpretation.
What is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
The auditory receptors in the human ear are called hair cells, which are located in the cochlea. These hair cells convert sound waves into neural impulses that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.
Which structure is responsible for transducing light into neural impulses?
The retina is responsible for transducing light into neural impulses. It is a layer of tissue located at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals that can be processed by the brain.
Neural impulses are first sensed by the?
the optic nerve in your eye
What creates the electrical signal in your heart?
neural impulses from the brain
What helps changes light rays into neural impulses?
Retina
What is the process called when the ear registers sound waves that are transformed into electrical signals that becomes neural impulses?
This process is called transduction. Sound waves are converted into electrical signals by hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear. These signals are then sent as neural impulses to the brain via the auditory nerve for processing.
Neural impulses speed increases when the axon is encased by what?
Myelin Sheath
How does Ekwefi react?
An action happens. Her organs observe and send neural impulses to her brain. Her brain processes what happens, lighting up neural pathways. These chemicals and impulses cause her brain to make decisions.
