What is a nerve message called?

Well they are sent through the nervous system.


What is an example of integration by the nervous system?

Example: when you step on a nail, your body perceives a stimulus (change in external or internal environment) receptor is the specific thing identifying stimulus, in this case, the skin, then a nervous impulse is generated and is transmitted through a chain of neurons towards central nervous system, sent to the brain where the impulse is interpreted (integration) by the brain, brain will send off new impulse via motor neurons through spinal cord through nerve to muscle to carry out response.


What is stimuli impulse?

A stimulus is any event that evokes a specific response in an organism, while an impulse is a message carried by neurons in response to a stimulus. When a stimulus is detected by sensory receptors, it triggers an impulse that is transmitted through the nervous system to elicit a reaction or behavior.


What is the name of the region where two neurons are in done contact is known as?

synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.


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 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.


How are signals passed through the nervous system?

Signals are passed through the nervous system through a process called neurotransmission. When a signal is received by a neuron, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters travel across the synapse, a small gap between neurons, and bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, causing an electrical impulse to be generated and passed along the neuron. This process allows signals to be transmitted quickly and efficiently throughout the nervous system.


Which structure if the neuron transmits an impulse through the myelin sheath?

Neural impulses (action potentials) are transmitted through axons which are covered in a myelin sheath for insulation.


How is information transmitted through the nervous system?

Information is transmitted through the nervous system via electrical signals called action potentials. These signals travel along nerve cells, or neurons, and are passed from one neuron to another through connections called synapses. Neurotransmitters are released at the synapse to help transmit the signal from one neuron to the next. This process allows information to be relayed throughout the nervous system, enabling communication between different parts of the body and the brain.


The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as?

The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as electric impulses. Any damage to a nerve in the system will cause a breakdown in communication between nerve ending and the brain.


If A nerve impulse travels through your nervous system at an avg rate of 132 m per s How much time does it take for an impulse a distance of 1.49 m to reach your brain?

11 mS


How impulses are transmitted and generated?

the brain sends electrical shocks through our nervous system that tells our body how to move, and when to do it.
