What conducts impulses from the brain to glands?
Nerves transmit impulses from the brain to glands. This communication pathway enables the brain to control the release of hormones that regulate various bodily functions.
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.
Can nerve impulses from the brain cause the release of hormones?
Yes, nerve impulses from the brain can trigger the release of hormones through the activation of the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus then signals the pituitary gland to release specific hormones that regulate various bodily functions.
What form sensory impulses?
Sensory impulses are typically in the form of electrical signals that travel along nerve fibers from sensory receptors to the brain or spinal cord. These impulses carry information about sensations such as touch, temperature, pain, and pressure. The brain then processes these impulses to generate a conscious perception of the sensory input.
What lobe are the impulses in the skin received?
Impulses from the skin are received in the parietal lobe of the brain. The parietal lobe is responsible for processing sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.
Where are pain impulses first processed?
The unosyrectum never in the Brain

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.
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 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.
How do opiates block pain nerve signals to the brain?
Opiates bond to µ-opioid (mu) receptors located on the subsynaptic membrane of neurons in the spinal cord and brain that are involved in the transmission of pain impulses. These neurons would normally have pain impulses suppressed by the release of enkephalins such as [met]enkephalin and [leu]enkephalin.
How is the pace maker involved in your heart beat?
The pace maker uses electrical impulses to regulate heart rate. It is used when the bodies own impulses from the brain are not able to do the job anymore.
Can nerve impulses from the brain cause the release of hormones?
Yes, nerve impulses from the brain can trigger the release of hormones through the activation of the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus then signals the pituitary gland to release specific hormones that regulate various bodily functions.

How do opiates block pain nerve signals going to the brain?
Opiates bond to µ-opioid (mu) receptors located on the subsynaptic membrane of neurons in the spinal cord and brain that are involved in the transmission of pain impulses. These neurons would normally have pain impulses suppressed by the release of enkephalins such as [met]enkephalin and [leu]enkephalin.
How does the brain know when you have stepped on a sharp object?
Nerve cells in the foot sense injury, and using electrical impulses, transmit relevant information, through the nervous system, to the brain. The brain translates the impulses as pain.
