What else can I help you with?
Conducts electrical currents towards the cell body?
The dendrite conducts electrical currents towards the cell body. The axon terminal on the other hand conducts impulses away from the cell body.
What is the conducting unit of the nerve tissue?
The axon is the conducting part of the neuron. It conducts the impulse from the cell body to the terminals, where ion channels open in response to the impulse, mediators are activated, neurotransmitter crosses synapse and attaches at the post-synaptic membrane, opening the ion channels there and depolarizing the cell, and propagating the impulse towards another cell body via the post-synaptic cell's axon.
Why are the waves in the same direction in an ECG?
The wave direction indicated whether the electrical impulse from the heart is going towards or away from the ECG lead that is being studied.
Which part of the neuron is responsible for generating a nerve impulse?
The axon is responsible for generating and transmitting a nerve impulse. It is a long, slender projection of the neuron that carries the electrical signal away from the cell body towards other neurons or muscles.
What is the neuron that conducts impulses towards the periphery?
The efferent neuron carries impulses towards the periphery.
What system does axon belongs to?
Axon is a part of the nervous system. It is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Which system would transmit that impulse towards the brain for interpertation and finally action?
nervous system.
Are dendrites always myelinated?
No, dendrites are typically unmyelinated. Myelin is a protective covering that surrounds axons to increase the speed of electrical impulse transmission. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.
Do nerve impulses begin in the axon of a neuron?
No, nerve impulses do not begin in the axon of a neuron; they typically begin in the dendrites or the cell body. When a neuron receives sufficient stimulation, it generates an action potential that travels down the axon. The axon then conducts this impulse away from the cell body towards other neurons or target tissues.
Do nerve impulses travel down the internodal pathways from the av node?
No, nerve impulses travel down the internodal pathways towards the AV node, not from it. The internodal pathways conduct the impulse from the SA node to the AV node, assisting in the synchronization of the heart's electrical activity.
What does an action potential refer to as?
An action potential is basically the message which is sent by the neuron down the axon towards synapse.In other words it is the impulse or the electrical signal that travels along the axon due to difference in the positive and negative charges inside and outside of the axon wall.
What is the antonym of from?
The antonym of "from" is "to," which indicates movement towards a destination or point in space.
