What are electrical impulse sensors called?
Electrodes
What is the brief electrical impulse transmitted along the axon called?
Butter Steak.
How are hormones similar to neurotransmitters?
A neural impulse is similar to an electrical signal in three ways: 1. there are electrical voltages involved in the movement of the neural impulse; 2. an electrical signal can convey information, as can a neural impulse; 3. an electrical signal can cause an action, like a car starter switch starting the engine, and a neural impulse can cause a muscle to contract to move a limb. (note that with respect to the voltages involved in the neural impulse, the voltages are created by the movement of chemicals, charged particles called ions, somewhat similar to how batteries produce voltages.) (also note that the neural impulse is the signal which moves along the axon, as an action potential.)
What connects the motor neurons to the sensory neurons?
What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.
When the heart stops beating because of interference of its electrical impulse it results in a condition called?
Cardiac Arrest.
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called what?
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is known as an action potential.
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 minimal impulse that can initiate a muscle contraction?
Threshold stimulusThe minimal level of stimulation required to cause a fiber to contract is called the THRESHOLD STILULUS.
What is a term for change in momentum?
That is called "impulse".
What is it called when a muscle contract involuntarily?
A twitch is when only one muscle is affected, usually the result of a nerve impulse, while a spasm is when multiple muscles contract involuntary, due to a chemical imbalance.
What name is given to a message that travels around the body in a nerve?
An electrical signal traveling along a nerve is called a nerve impulse or action potential.
How does information flow through a neuron in the human brain?
Information flows through a neuron in the human brain through a process called synaptic transmission. When a neuron receives a signal, it generates an electrical impulse that travels down its axon. At the end of the axon, the electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, causing it to generate its own electrical impulse and continue the flow of information.
