What else can I help you with?
The part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its' cell body is called?
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Where does the spinal nerve take nerve impulses?
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
What are nerve blocks?
Nerve blocks are a form of anesthesia that involves injecting medication near a specific nerve or group of nerves to block pain signals from reaching the brain. This can provide targeted pain relief for a specific area of the body during surgery or for chronic pain conditions.
Does the glossopharyngeal nerve include parasympathetic nerves?
Yes, except the CN X nerve, the CN IX, the CN VII, and the CN III nerve have the parasympathetic nerve
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron
Impulses that are carried to the heart by means of the vagus nerve are?
Parasympathetic impulses and cause the heart rate to decrease.
What are the nerves that carry parasympathetic impulses to the enteric nervous systems?
vagus nerve
Which of the following would produce a DECREASE in heart rate?
parasympathetic impulses along the vagus nerve
What are anticholinergics?
Anticholinergics are a class of medications that inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells.
The part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its' cell body is called?
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
How does atropine work?
Anticholinergic agent/ parasympatholytic that inhibits the action of acetylcholine at the postganglionic parasympathetic receptor sites. Increases the heart rate in life threatening bradyarrhythmias.
What does the term anticolinergic drug mean?
OF OR PERTAINING TO THE BLOCKING OF ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS, RESULTING IN INHIBITION OF TRANSMISSION OF PARASYMPATHETIC NERVE IMPULSES.
Is nitrogen a nerve agent?
No, nitrogen is not a nerve agent. Nerve agents are chemical compounds that disrupt the transmission of impulses along the nerve cells and can cause paralysis and death. Nitrogen is a common element in the atmosphere and is not used as a nerve agent.
What does atropine do the heart?
It blocks the vegus nerve/ parasympathetic heart. This means that the heart rate can not be slowed down.
Is the vagus nerve sympathetic or parasympathetic?
The vagus nerve is parasympathetic.
How do sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve impulses affect the alimentary canal?
Sympathetic nerve impulses generally inhibit digestive functions by reducing peristalsis and secretions in the alimentary canal, promoting processes like the "fight or flight" response. In contrast, parasympathetic nerve impulses stimulate digestion by enhancing peristalsis and increasing the secretion of digestive enzymes and fluids, leading to a more active digestive process. Together, these two systems help regulate the balance between digestion and the body's other physiological needs.
Is the vagus nerve sympathetic or parasympathetic in its function?
The vagus nerve is primarily parasympathetic in its function.
