Sensory impulses play a crucial role in regulating the rhythm of breathing by providing the brain with information about the body's internal and external environments. Chemoreceptors detect changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood, while mechanoreceptors in the lungs sense stretch and pressure. These sensory inputs are relayed to the respiratory centers in the brainstem, which adjust the rate and depth of breathing accordingly to maintain homeostasis and respond to activities such as exercise or stress. This dynamic feedback loop ensures that the body meets its oxygen demands and effectively removes carbon dioxide.
What else can I help you with?
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 sends impulses to the brain?
sensory neurons
What are responsible for converting sensory messages into neural impulses?
Sensory receptors, such as photoreceptors in the eyes, mechanoreceptors in the skin, and chemoreceptors in the nose, are responsible for converting sensory messages (like light, pressure, and chemicals) into neural impulses. These neural impulses are then transmitted to the brain for processing and interpretation.
Does the sensory afferent division conveys impulses away from the central nervous system?
No, the sensory afferent division conveys impulses towards the central nervous system. Afferent neurons transmit sensory signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.
What division transmits impulses from the cns to the muscles or glands?
The sensory or afferent division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from the sense organs to the CNS.
Sensory impulses transmitted over the facial glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves are involved in the sensation of?
The taste and touch sensation

Similarities of motor and sensory neurons?
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.
What are neurons that relay impulses from sensory to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
Are neurons that relay impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
Where do cerebellum receive sensory impulses from?
Dendrites
What sends impulses to the brain?
sensory neurons

What nerve is a mixed cranial nerve that conducts sensory impulses from and motor impulses from and motor impulses to the thoracic and abdominal viscera?
vagus nerve
What is the name of the neurone that carries impulses to the central nervous system?
The neuron that carries impulses to the central nervous system is called a sensory neuron. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to sensory information.
Neurons that move impulses to the brain?
sensory nerve cells
Does a sensory neuron transmit afferent impulses to the cns?
True
