What else can I help you with?
What are the routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system?
Nerve impulses travel in one direction along a neuron, from the dendrites, through the cell body, down the axon, and finally to the axon terminals. At the axon terminals, neurotransmitters are released to communicate with the next neuron or target cell. This process allows the nerve impulse to pass through the nervous system efficiently.
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as?
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as electric impulses. Any damage to a nerve in the system will cause a breakdown in communication between nerve ending and the brain.
Is the endocrine system controls the body through nerve impulses?
The nervous system controls the body through nerve impulses. The endocrine system controls the body through hormones.
What do both the endocrine and nervous systems allow you to do?
The endocrine and nervous systems allow your body to regulate body functions. The endocrine system does so through hormones, and the nervous system through nervous impulses.
Which tissue type conducts impulses?
Nerve cells, neurons, are designed to conduct electrical impulses, passing messages between the nerves and other tissues. For example, one impulse is sent to the brain signaling pain when you burn your hand and than another message telling your hand to move off the stove.
What is the basic unit of the nervous system that facilitates nerve impulses through the body?
Neuron
How impulses are transmitted and generated?
the brain sends electrical shocks through our nervous system that tells our body how to move, and when to do it.
difference between endocrine and nervous system?
These two systems use different transmitters, which are chemical messengers called hormones in the endocrine system, and neurotransmitters that are followed by electrical impulses in the nervous system. The two paths that these two devices use are also completely different. Hormones travel throughout the body through the blood, while neurons transmit information through the nervous system
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
The specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system is called a neuron. Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the body to enable communication between different parts of the body.
Which type of tissue is specialized for conduction of impulses?
Nervous tissue is specialized for the conduction of impulses, specifically through neurons which transmit electrical signals throughout the body. This tissue is critical for communication within the body and enables functions such as movement, sensation, and cognitive processes.
How is it possible for the GI tract to have complete reflex arcs without having to pass impulses through the central nervous system?
Ganglion
What makes skeletal muscles move?
The nervous system produces electrical impulses which make muscles move through a sliding filament mechanism.
