A signal that is sent from the brain and travels down is typically a motor command. These signals originate in the motor cortex, where they initiate voluntary movements by sending electrical impulses through the spinal cord to peripheral nerves. This process enables communication between the brain and muscles, allowing for coordinated actions.
What else can I help you with?
How fast does the brain operate?
amazingly quick you can move your foot in millionths of a second from the signal being sent from the brain
The satiety signal in the body is sent after a lag time of about?
The satiety signal in the body is sent after a lag time of about 20 minutes, which is how long it generally takes for the stomach to signal to the brain that it's full. This delay can lead to overeating if a person eats too quickly before the signal has a chance to register.
When bacteria dies does it feel pain?
No. Pain is merely a signal sent to the brain and the brain registers the pain. Bacteria lacks a brain, therefore can feel no pain.
What occurs in the cochlea in the ear?
In the cochlea, sound vibrations are converted into electrical signals by hair cells located on the basilar membrane. These signals are then sent to the brain through the auditory nerve for interpretation. The cochlea is key to the process of hearing and is responsible for encoding sound frequency and intensity.
Neuromuscular junction is also known as the what?
The NMJ is the region where the efferent motor nerves connect with muscle tissue. When a signal is sent from the brain, down the spinal cord, to the nerve, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft (primary acetylcholine), which cause the muscle to contract.
What is direct signal?
This is when the signal is sent directly to the organ, tissue, or a cell that needs it. An example of this is the neuron. A message is sent directly from or to brain
What do you call an electric signal sent by your brain?
Neurochemical impulses
Voluntary muscles receive the singnal to contract or relax from thr brain people make the decision to make a movement and the signal is sent from the brain down through the?
nerve fibres
How fast does the brain operate?
amazingly quick you can move your foot in millionths of a second from the signal being sent from the brain

The satiety signal in the body is sent after a lag time of about 20 minutes, which is how long it generally takes for the stomach to signal to the brain that it's full. This delay can lead to overeating if a person eats too quickly before the signal has a chance to register.
How do German sheppards run?
A dog would run when the brain sent transmissions down to the muscle in the legs commanding it to 'move.' The dog would then follow the command and keep te pace until a signal tells it otherwise.
What happens when sound vibrations bend hairs on the cochlea?
When sound vibrations bend hairs on the cochlea, it triggers an electrical signal to be sent to the brain via the auditory nerve. The brain then interprets this signal as sound, allowing us to perceive and recognize different sounds.
What is the Stimulus and response to touching a hot pan?
the stimulus is the hot pan causing a signal to be sent to the brain which causes the hand to be pulled away which is the response
What is an electromagnetic signal that is sent in a particular direction?
electromagnetic signal
What is a sense organ that detectes light?
Your eyes detect it, (retina) it is then sent down your optical nerve to the brain
Is there a circuit breaker that is operated by a signal sent down the same cable that's supplying power to it?
yes it is the main breaker
How does the structure of nerve tissue allow it to carrry out its function?
well, i don't know if this is what you are asking but a nerve is a giant bundle of MANY neurons. Neurons are responsible for sending a signal to the brain and/or spinal cord. They pass on electrical charges from sensory neurons to the brain and/or spinal cord. There, the info is examined and processed. then, they send an electrical charge through the motor neurons to where ever they need to go to respond. However, for safety reasons, if you need to respond quickly to something, the signal goes to your spinal cord instead of your brain to make reaction faster. For example, if you touch something extremely hot, the signal will go to your spinal cord. Then two signals will be sent out. One to the finger, to tell you to get it off of the hot thing, and the other to the brain. That's why when you touch something really hot, you don't feel the pain until like a second after you lift your hand. Because that's when the signal goes to the brain then all the way back.
