We all know how the sound waves are detected, through minuscule hairs. Each of these hairs is connected to an individual nerve termination so, when vibrated, the brain receives an electrical pulse from that individual hair. Each hair is set at a certain distance and length, so each individual hair reacts differently to the next.
The brain then cleverly processes all these electrical pulse combinations to find the corresponding pitches and frequencies and allows you to hear the resulting sound.
What else can I help you with?
Which travels quicker through the body a nerve impulse or a hormons?
a nerve impulse
The neurotransmitters of a neutron enable a nerve impulse to do what?
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
What happens to a muscle when an electrical impulse from a nerve stops?
When the electrical impulse from a nerve stops, the muscle relaxes and returns to its resting state. This is because the nerve impulse initiates the release of calcium ions in the muscle cells, leading to muscle contraction. When the nerve impulse stops, the calcium ions are reabsorbed, causing the muscle to relax.
How is light able to produce a nerve impulse in the ganglion?
Light produces a nerve impulse in the ganglion through a process called phototransduction. In the retina, photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) absorb photons, leading to a biochemical change that converts light into an electrical signal. This signal is then transmitted to bipolar cells and subsequently to ganglion cells, which generate action potentials. These impulses are relayed through the optic nerve to the brain for visual processing.
What influences the speed of a nerve impulse?
the diameter of an axon
What is quicker a nerve impulse or a hormone?

What are the receptors in the cochlea?
organ of corti, is a receptor organ that generates nerve impulse in response to vibration of the basilar membrane.

Is an action potential necessary for a nerve impulse to occur?
Yes, an action potential is needed for a nerve impulse to occur.
Is a action potential necessary for a nerve impulse to occur?
Yes, an action potential is needed for a nerve impulse to occur.
What is a nerve impule transmitted by axons?
It is called a nerve impulse.
The neurotransmitters of a neutron enable a nerve impulse to do what?
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
What nerve receive the impulse?
receptors.
What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
What happens to a muscle when an electrical impulse from a nerve stops?
When the electrical impulse from a nerve stops, the muscle relaxes and returns to its resting state. This is because the nerve impulse initiates the release of calcium ions in the muscle cells, leading to muscle contraction. When the nerve impulse stops, the calcium ions are reabsorbed, causing the muscle to relax.
