What is the name of the short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response?
The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to quickly produce a reflex action in response to a stimulus, bypassing the brain.
What is the nerve impulse from your foot to your leg called?
The nerve impulse from your foot to your leg is called a sensory nerve signal or proprioceptive feedback. It helps transmit information about sensations such as touch, pressure, and position to the brain.
What occurs during the reflex arc.?
The pathway that an impulse travels from your foot back to your leg is an example of a reflex arc. A reflex arc includes a sensory receptor (in this case, a receptor in your toe), sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector (leg muscle). Some reflex arcs include interneurons. In other reflex arcs, a sensory neuron communicates directly with a motor neuron.
If you pick up a hot plate a reflex arc takes place and you drop it but the message carries on to the brain so if it is your mom's best china will you be able to prevent the drop?
A good answer has been posted here: http://www.madsci.org/posts/1197305811.Ns.r.html The basic idea is that your brain has control over your reflexes, and so can suppress them when necessary.
What role does the brain play in a reflex response?
The brain initiates a reflex response by sending signals down the spinal cord to the specific muscle or organ involved. However, the actual reflex action occurs at the level of the spinal cord, without the need for input from the brain. This allows for a quicker and more automatic response to potentially harmful stimuli.
During a reflex the nerve impulse reaches?
the brain
Can part of the impulse in a reflex action reach the brain?
because it is the cells
If you are stung by a bee you don't feel any pain until the impulse reaches your?
When stung by a bee a person will not feel any pain until the impulse reaches their brain. The brain is the center of a humans nervous system.
What is the path that nervous impulse takes through the nervous system?
A nervous impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron, travels through the cell body and axon, and then is passed on to the next neuron via a synapse. This sequence repeats until the impulse reaches its destination, such as a muscle or gland, where it triggers a response.
When ever you get stung by a bee you don't fill it until the impulse reaches your?
When you are stung by a bee you don't feel it until the impulse reaches your brain. The signal travels along your nerves to your spinal cord, where it is turned into a chemical message and sent to your brain.
What is the name of the short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response?
The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to quickly produce a reflex action in response to a stimulus, bypassing the brain.
What is the difference between a reflex arc and a normal nerve impulse?
A reflex arc doesn't go all the way up to the brain. Thus it NEVER becomes part of the thought process.
How does the four major elements of a simple nervous pathway function during pain withdrawal reflex?
During a pain withdrawal reflex impulses are sent through different nerves and to the spinal cord. This reflex does not make it to the brain but only to the spinal cord. We call this involuntary action because we dont control reflexes. The sensory neurons are the first to recieve the impulse, then they travel to the interneurons, or associative neurons, and then they go to the motor neurons which carries the impulse to the central nervous system. Then the effector is the response, so in this case your musscle will contract.
How does information from the sensory receptorsin the skin get to the brain?
The initial sensory receptor detects a change e.g temperature. This is sent as an electrical impulse via a series of sensory receptors to the spine, if there is a problem a reflex occurs. If there is no problem the impulse is transmitted to the brain through the spinal cord.
What is the nerve impulse from your foot to your leg called?
The nerve impulse from your foot to your leg is called a sensory nerve signal or proprioceptive feedback. It helps transmit information about sensations such as touch, pressure, and position to the brain.
The simplest pathway of an impulse is?
The simplest pathway of an impulse involves the sensory neuron transmitting a signal to the interneuron in the spinal cord, which then relays the signal to the motor neuron, causing a response in a muscle or gland. This pathway is known as a reflex arc and allows for rapid, automatic responses to stimuli without involving the brain.
What part of the body controls the vomiting impulse?
The vomiting impulse is controlled by the brain stem, specifically the vomiting center located in the medulla oblongata. Signals from various parts of the body, such as the stomach, intestines, and vestibular system, are sent to the brain stem to trigger the vomiting reflex.
