Where is pain consciously processed?
in your head
What stops the transmission of pain impulses to the brain and spinal cord by preventing the perception of pain?
Non-narcotic analgesics work to stop the transmission of pain impulses by preventing the perception of pain. In low dosages, these drugs are available at drug stores without a prescription.
If Impulse from the eye result in sight perception and impulses from the ear are perceived as sound due to?
Impulses from the eye are processed by the brain to create the sensation of sight, while impulses from the ear are processed to create the sensation of sound. These sensory perceptions are the result of complex neural pathways in the brain that interpret and make sense of the information received from the eyes and ears.
Name applied to the rubbing of the foot to relieve pain in the body?
Its called gating in that the nerve impulses from the foot overload the pain stimpuli impulses from elsewhere preventing or reducing their access to the spinal cord and thence to the brain where pain is perceived
What is responsible for transmitting pain impulses?
Nociceptors are responsible for transmitting pain impulses. These are specialized nerve endings that detect tissue damage or potentially harmful stimuli and send signals to the brain to alert the body of pain.
How does your sense of touch get stimulated?
Your sense of touch gets stimulated when nerve endings in your skin detect pressure, temperature, or vibration. These nerve impulses then travel to your brain, where they are processed and interpreted as different sensations such as heat, cold, pain, or texture.
Sensory receptors for all the following adapt to repeated stimulation by sending fewer and fewer and fewer impulses except those for?
Those for pain do not adapt to repeated stimulation and continue to send impulses.
What takes impulses away from the cell body?
Dendrites are responsible for receiving impulses and transmitting them towards the cell body. Once the impulses reach the cell body, the information is integrated and processed before being sent along the axon to other neurons.
What type of drug works by stopping the transmission of pain impulses to the brain and spinal cord by preventing the perception of pain?
Anesthetics.
Why Eating food processed from a microwave oven causes permanent brain damage by shorting out electrical impulses in the brain?
Not true. Eating food processed from a microwave oven does not cause brain damage.
When has pain served its purpose?
Once the brain has received and processed the pain message and coordinated an appropriate response, pain has served its purpose.
What impulses are transmitted by the sense of smell?
The sense of smell transmits impulses that are related to detecting chemicals in the environment, such as odors and scents. These impulses are then processed by the brain to identify and interpret the various smells, triggering emotional responses and memories.
