What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What is the function of the optic nerve?
As with all nerves in the human body, the optic nerve transmits information. In this case, the optic nerve specifically transmits information from the retina of the eye to the brain for analysis and integration, resulting in the perception of "sight."
How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?
The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.
What cortex does the frontal lobe analyzes sensory information carried by nerve impulses from the tongue and taste receptors?
Gustatory
Transmits sensory impulses from pressure receptors of the carotid artery?
Glossopharyngeal cranial nerve
What is the Trigeminal branch to the tongue?
None actually go to the tongue... Trigeminal nerve - (V) fifth cranial nerve V1: Ophtalmic-eye, forehead and nose.1-Sensory V2: Maxillary - upper teeth, gums and lip, the cheek, lower eyelid and the side of the nose.1-Sensory V3: Mandibular - lower teeth, lower gums and lower lip.1-Sensory - Jaw.2-Motor 1SENSORY: Transmits pressure, touch, pain and temperature signals to the brain. 2MOTOR: Controls movement. http://www.tnaaustralia.org.au
How does you tongue connect to your brain?
The tongue connects to the brain through a network of nerves, primarily the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII), which controls its movement. Additionally, sensory information from the tongue, including taste, is transmitted to the brain via the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) for the front two-thirds of the tongue and the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) for the back third. These pathways enable the brain to process taste, texture, and temperature, allowing for coordinated movements and sensory experiences.
Which cranial nerves is responsible for olfaction?
The olfactory nerve which is also cranial nerve number 1 is responsible for the sense of olfaction.
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
Which carnial nerves are purely sensory?
Actually, there are three cranial nerves that are completely sensory: Olfactory nerve, Optic nerve and the Vestibulocohlear nerve. The Optic nerve is responsible for sensory information for vision, the Olfactory nerve is responsible for sensory information coming from the nose and the Vestibulocohlear (the craziest word to spell) involves sensory information for hearing (get it?- cohlear, ear) and equilibrium.
What nerve cells that are connected in your eyes nose skin and tongue?
The nerve cells connected in the eyes, nose, skin, and tongue are called sensory neurons. These specialized cells are responsible for detecting and transmitting sensory information from these organs to the brain for processing. Each type of sensory neuron is tuned to respond to specific types of stimuli, such as light (in the eyes), odors (in the nose), touch (in the skin), and taste (in the tongue).
Which cranial nerve carries sensory information to the diencephalon?
The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) carries sensory information to the diencephalon. It is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face, including touch, temperature, and pain sensations.
