What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
What is the difference in transmission between myelinated and unmyelinated fibers?
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
What is nerve impulse transmission?
An action potention.
Is the impulse transmission for the spinal nerve sensory or motor?
No
What is responsible for transmission of nerve impulse across a synapse?
NEUROTRANSMITTER is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses.Eg.dopamine,acetylcholine etc.
What are The electrically charged molecules that are involved in a nerve impulse are called?
The electrically charged molecules involved in a nerve impulse are called ions. Key ions include sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and chloride (Cl-). During a nerve impulse, the movement of these ions across the neuron's membrane generates an action potential, allowing the signal to propagate along the nerve. This process is crucial for communication between neurons and the transmission of signals throughout the nervous system.
What is the range for nerve impulse transmission through the human body?
over 9000
Why does a reflex nerve pathway move faster than a normal nerve transmission?
Reflex nerve pathway is a monosynaptic transmission. There are no interneurons involved. Only the limb that carries the afferent nerve impulse from the stimulus and the efferent motor function for the reflex involved. That is why it is faster. Normal nerve transmission require an interpretation of the impulse by the brain whereas reflex pathways do not. Another reason is because most reflexes from the exteroreceptors travel along myelinated axons (white matter) which carry the impulse faster than other neurons that have unmyelinated axons (grey matter).
You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the?
You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the synapses. They are defined as a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.
What is quicker a nerve impulse or a hormone?
nerve impulse
Changes in the transmembrane potential of a cell are involved in?
Changes in the transmembrane potential of a cell are involved in processes such as nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and cell signaling. It plays a critical role in maintaining cellular function and communication.
The duration of a nerve impulse is approximately?
The duration of a nerve impulse is very short, typically around 1-2 milliseconds. This rapid transmission allows for quick communication between neurons and helps to coordinate various body functions.
