When I saw the ruler fall, visual information was captured by the photoreceptors in my eyes and converted into electrical signals. These signals traveled through the optic nerve to the visual cortex in the brain, where the information was processed and interpreted. Once I recognized the ruler was falling, motor commands were sent from the brain through the spinal cord and peripheral nerves to my muscles, enabling a response, such as reaching out to catch it.
What else can I help you with?
What nerve acts as the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) carries sensory information about light intensity to the brain as part of the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex.
Which cell is adapted for transmitting message?
Nerve cell
If you accidentally step on a tack with your bare foot the pathway that the nerve impulse takes from your foot to your leg is called?
The pathway that the nerve impulse takes from your foot to your leg is called the sensory pathway. This pathway includes sensory neurons that carry signals from the foot to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where the sensation of pain is perceived and a motor response is initiated to move away from the tack.
How an impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons?
An impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons through a process called synaptic transmission. At the gap, known as a synapse, neurotransmitters are released by the sending neuron, which then bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, triggering a new electrical signal to continue the impulse along the nerve pathway.
How many directions can a nerve impulse travel in?
A nerve impulse can travel in two directions: towards the brain (sensory or afferent pathway) to convey sensory information, and away from the brain (motor or efferent pathway) to control muscle movement or glandular secretion.
What pathway does a nerve impulse follow after initiated into a receptor?
nerve my a$$ nerve
How does the nerve pathway go for s1 nerve?
The nerve pathway travels down from the s1 spine. If the nerve root at the s1 is impinged or herniated, symptoms of sciatica can appear.
Starting from the spinal cord trace a motor pathway to the adductor muscle of the thigh Include the spinal cord root spinal nerve nerve plexus and specific peripheral nerve involved in the pathway?
starting in the spinal cord, trace a motor pathway to the adductor muscles of the thigh. Include the spinal cord root, spinal nerve, nerve plexus, and specific peripheral nerve involved in the pathway
Why do you have a nerve pathway?
that's because god made us like that. no im kidding, but it is true, but anyway, we have a nerve pathway because we do!:p
Providing a pathway for the transmission of nerve impulses is the responsibility of the?
peripheral nerve system
What nerve acts as the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) carries sensory information about light intensity to the brain as part of the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex.
What is a contralateral pathway?
A contralateral motor pathway is a neutral pathway located at the opposite side of the brain. It is on the eighth nerve of the cochlear nucleus.
What is a nerve message called?
Well they are sent through the nervous system.
How do you draw a diagram showing the pathway of nerve impulses?
fu
What is internodal pathway?
The internodal pathway is the specialized pathway for conducting electrical impulses between the nodes of Ranvier in myelinated nerve fibers. It allows for fast and efficient transmission of signals along the nerve fiber.
What nerve routes are followed by nerve impulses passing through the nervous system?
nerve pathways
What is the message called that a neuron carries?
nerve impulses
