Muscle cells contract when stimulated by nerve impulses. Specifically, in skeletal muscle, motor neurons release neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, triggering an action potential in the muscle cell. This leads to the release of calcium ions, which facilitate the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, resulting in muscle contraction.
What else can I help you with?
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What is the only kind of cell able to transmit nerve impulses?
nerve cell
What is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell?
Dendrite is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell.
What is the branching filaments that that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell?
Dendrite is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell.
What is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses toward the cell?
Dendrite is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell.
When a change in the environment that initiates the transmission of an electrochemical charge along a neuron is known as?
A momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a cell, especially of a nerve or muscle cell, that occurs when it is stimulated, resulting in the transmission of an electrical impulse. &/or "nerve impulses" or "spikes".
What carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.
What are the root like structures of a nerve that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body?
The dendrites are the root-like structures of a nerve that receive electrical impulses The dendrites then conduct the impulse to the cell body. Dendrites are root-like structures of a nerve cell that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body.
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
What does neurone mean?
The definition of the word neuron is "a specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell."
Mechanism of nerve conduction?
Nerve conduction involves the transmission of electrical impulses along the length of a nerve fiber. When a nerve is stimulated, sodium ions rush into the nerve cell, causing a change in electrical charge. This creates an action potential that travels down the nerve fiber, activating adjacent areas and allowing the signal to be transmitted. Once the impulse reaches its destination, neurotransmitters are released to stimulate the next nerve cell or muscle fiber.
