to transfer nerve impulses to the brain


Which cranial nerve conduct the sense of smell impulses from nose to the brain?

What cranial nerve carries smell impulses to the brain?

The olfactory nerve, also known as the first cranial nerve, transports impulses for sense of smell to the brain. The olfactory nerve is capable of regeneration.


How are nerve impulses initiated and transmitted?

Nerve impulses are initiated and transmitted according to nerve reactions and messages that get passed along or transmitted along nerve synapses and zones.


Messages in your brain are transmitted by?

nerve impulses.


What type of nerve conducts impulses to the olfactory bulbs?

The olfactory nerve, also known as cranial nerve I, conducts impulses from the nose to the olfactory bulbs in the brain. It is responsible for the sense of smell.


What parts of your body intercepts the nervous impulses sent by the nose as type of smell?

Actually, virtually none. The sense of smell is the only sense that is not processed by the 'relay station' called the thalamus. The olfactory bulb is composed of nerve cells that are stimulated by different chemicals that make up what we call smell. The impulses go directly to the temporal lobe and are processed for association with emotions. There is no 'interceptor' though there is a neurological phenomenon known as adaptation. That is why you can go into an Italian restaurant and after a while you do not smell the garlic.

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.
