What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
Why would a neuron not send an impulse?
If a neuron is not sending out an impulse or signal, this means the neuron is at rest. Neurons send signals electrochemically.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
How do motor neurons receive instructions from adjacent neurons?
Motor neurons receive instructions from adjacent neurons through synaptic connections, where neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic motor neuron. This activates an action potential in the motor neuron, leading to the transmission of signals that ultimately result in muscle contraction.
What begins when a neuron is stimulate by another neuron in its environment?
A nerve impulse
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
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.
Which type of the neuron carries the impulse to the sense organs to the brain?
sensory neuron
The message that travels through a neuron?
The message that travels through a neuron is an electrical impulse called an action potential. It is generated when the neuron is stimulated and travels along the neuron's axon, facilitated by the movement of charged ions. This ultimately allows the neuron to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
What statements characterizes an excitatory neuron?
It sends an impulse back to the cell body of the neuron
What is the branching fiber that is the first part of the neuron to receive a nervous system impulse called?
The branching fiber that is the first part of the neuron to receive a nervous system impulse is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron. They play a crucial role in receiving and integrating incoming information in the nervous system.
