What substance slows the message passing from the brain to the rest of the body?

Unmyelinated nerve fibers are slower than myelinated nerve fibers. The fibers covered by myelin are much faster.


Which nerves from the brain are known to decussate?

The optic nerves and the pyramidal tracts are two examples of nerves that decussate, or cross over to the opposite side of the body, within the brain. This crossing of nerve fibers helps with the coordination of sensory and motor functions between the brain and the rest of the body.


What type of white matter fibers connects and allows communications between the cerebral hemispheres and the body?

The type of white matter fibers that connect and allow communication between the cerebral hemispheres and the body are known as projection fibers. These fibers extend from the cerebral cortex to lower brain regions and the spinal cord, facilitating the transmission of motor and sensory information. An example of such fibers is the corticospinal tract, which conveys motor signals from the brain to the spinal cord. Additionally, other projection fibers connect to subcortical structures, enabling complex interactions between different parts of the nervous system.


If someone had a stroke and could not use the right side of their body what part of the brain had the stroke?

If someone had a stroke and could not use the right side of their body, the stroke likely occurred in the left side of their brain. This is because nerve fibers in the brain cross over, meaning the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa.


What do motor fibers cross?

Motor fibers cross at the pyramidal decussation in the medulla oblongata. This crossing allows for contralateral control of movements, with the left side of the brain controlling the right side of the body and vice versa.

What are the different types of nerve fibers and how do they function within the nervous system?

There are three main types of nerve fibers: sensory, motor, and mixed. Sensory fibers carry information from the body to the brain, motor fibers carry signals from the brain to the muscles, and mixed fibers can do both. These fibers work together to transmit signals throughout the nervous system, allowing for communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

Does cranberry juice give gas?

It shouldn't give you gas. It really depends on whats happening elsewhere in your body.


What does nerve bundles of the body are routed through?

The thick bundle of nerve fibers through which the brain communicates with the body is the spinal cord.


Does the auditory nerve have blood in it?

No. Nerves are not blood-filled. They are a bundle of fibers that carry information from parts of your body back to your brain, where your brain then processes that information.


How do unmyelinated C fibers contribute to the transmission of pain signals in the human body?

Unmyelinated C fibers transmit pain signals in the human body by sending slow and dull pain signals to the brain. These fibers are responsible for transmitting long-lasting, persistent pain sensations.


What is the differences between commissures association fibers and projection fibers?

Association fibers connect different portions of cerebral hemisphere allowing cerebral cortex to function as a integrated whole whereas projection fibers connect cerebral hemispheres to other portions of brain n spinal cord


How do drugs effect the body?

They run through your body and affect all different parts for example your brain. This is always caused by whats in the drug.


Decussation of most motor fibers occurs here?

Ans: Frontal LobeExplanation: " The fibers that carry information from the motor area of the frontal lobe of the brain are crossed fibbers. In other words, the fibers leave the motor area of the left frontal lobe, cross over and innervate the right side of the body. The fibers from the right frontal lobe also cross over and innervate the left side of the body. The crossing over of fibers is called DECUSSATION." - from "The Human Body in Health and Illness - Barbara Herlihy p175"


How does the human body find out what is around us?

Your eyes are linked to your brain so you can see everything that is happening, so can your brain, it sents messages to everywere in your body so it knows what is around us.


What are the thin fibers of the human nervous system that sends messages between different parts of the body?

i think the brain sends messages between different parts of the body.
