Acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter that passes from neuron to muscle cells and it causes the Na/K channels to open allowing Na+ to flow into the cell triggering an action potential.

What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?

A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.


How many vocal cards are present in larynx of human?

There are two vocal cords in the larynx of a human. They are muscle and cartilage structures that vibrate to produce sound when air passes through them.


How do livng things respond to stimuli?

There are two types of responses to stimuli. 1)Deep response which requires integration by the brain such as thinking. 2)Simple response which is done by reflex arc. The reflex Arc is consisted if receptor, sensory neuron, relay neuron, motor neuron and effector which is either muscle or gland. For example in humans. If your hand touches a hot object. Heat receptors in your hand will act as sensor, passing an impulse by generating action potential in the sensory neuron. The sensory neuron passes the impulse to along it till reaching the spinal cord passing the impulse to the relay neuron by a process called synapse. The relay neuron synapse with motor neuron to pass the impulse to it. The end of the motor neuron is connected to the bi-ceps muscle in the arm. As the impulse reaches the end of the motor neuron it passes impulse to the muscle ordering it to contract, thus the hand is removed away from stimulus. This process take a fraction of a second.


What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?

The space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another is called a synapse. It is a small gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between the cells.


Which is the last part of the neuron to be involved in the transmission of a neural impulse towards the next neuron?

Signalling ALONG a neuron is electrical, but signalling BETWEEN neurons is a chemical process. Neuron A 'passes' a message onto the next by releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters , which are then taken up by neuron B. The point at which these neurotransmitters are released from the neuron A is called the 'terminal bouton' and is the end of its axon. More specifically, it is the presynaptic membrane OF the terminal bouton at which the passing on of a message occurs.

What is the flow of information in a spinal reflex arc in the correct order?

The reflex arc includes the sensory neuron (sensory intake) to the motor neuron (motor response). This two neuron arc is the fastest. Many times an interneuron at the level of the spinal cord is involved. It passes information to the brain more slowly. It is like an "incident report".

What is an axon-terminal?

An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.

The nerve that passes through the coracobrachialis muscle is the musculocutaneous nerve.


What makes sure that there is one action potential in the neuromuscular junction for one action potential in the muscle?

After a neuron fires, there is a refractory period where certain factors in the neuron prevent it from being depolarized again. This is made possible by an "overshoot" of polarization (returning to a much stronger negative ion charge inside the neuron) after the action potential passes. This ensures that voltage-controlled ion channels remain closed for a small period of time and do not become overactive through continuous restimulation.


What type of mixture produces the Tyndall effect?

Colloids produce the Tyndall effect. This effect occurs when light scatters as it passes through the colloidal particles in the mixture, making the colloid appear opaque or cloudy when viewed under a light source.
