What else can I help you with?
What is the name of a neuron that transmits a neural impulse from the central nervous system through the spinal cord to a muscle?
The neuron that transmits a signal from the nervous system to an effector is a motor neuron.
What fiber transmits impulses to the central nervous system?
The fiber that transmits impulses to the central nervous system is called an afferent or sensory fiber. These fibers carry sensory information from receptors in the body to the brain and spinal cord, allowing for the perception of different sensations like touch, temperature, and pain.
The component of the human nervous system that brings sensory information to the brain and transmits commands from it is called the?
Partly the Cranial nerve and partly the spinal chord. also known as the peripheral nervous system
What is a functional property of nervous tissue called?
A functional property of nervous tissue called irritability is the ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it into a nerve impulse.
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of electrical activity called an action potential. This action potential travels along the length of the neuron's axon and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, allowing communication between neurons.
What is the central nervous?
The central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord. The branches from the brain and cord are called the peripheral nervous system.
What wraps around larger axons?
Larger axons are typically wrapped with a fatty substance called myelin, which is produced by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. Myelin serves as an insulating layer that helps to increase the speed and efficiency of nerve impulse conduction along the axon.
What are the 2 divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
The sensory division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from sense organs to the central nervous system. The motor division transmits impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands.
compare the central and the peripheral nervous system?
The Central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.The brain is the control center for all activities in the body.It is made of billions of neurons. The spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons.Sensory neurons send impulse to the brain.All the nerves outside CNS ( Central Nervous System) that connects the brain and spinal cord to other body parts are part of the Peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system includes 12 pairs of nerves from your brain called cranial nerves, and 31 pairs of nerves from your spinal cord called Spinal nerves.
What is the main control area of the nervous system called?
The central nervous system or CNS
What are the brain and nervous system collectively called?
Those parts of the body are simply called the central nervous system.
What is a nerve message called?
Well they are sent through the nervous system.
