Sensory receptors in the body detect stimuli and convert them into electrical signals, or nerve impulses. These impulses are transmitted along sensory neurons to the central nervous system, specifically the spinal cord and brain. Once they reach the brain, various regions process and interpret the signals, allowing us to perceive sensations such as touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell.
What else can I help you with?
What sends impulses to the brain?
sensory neurons
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron
What sends electrical impulses from the rods and cones to the brain?
The optic nerve sends electrical signals from the rods and cones in the retina to the brain. These signals are then interpreted by the brain as visual information, allowing us to see.
Which parts of the brain receive the impulses from the auditory nerve?
The auditory nerve sends impulses to the brainstem's cochlear nuclei, which then project to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe. This is where sound processing and interpretation primarily occur.
What sends impulses to the brain to hear sounds?
Sound waves enter the ear and cause vibrations in the eardrum, which are transmitted to the inner ear through the ossicles (tiny bones). In the cochlea, these vibrations are converted into electrical impulses by hair cells. These impulses travel along the auditory nerve to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted as sounds.
What sends impulses to the brain?
sensory neurons
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron
What divisions of the nervous system sends impulses from your brain to your heart?
autonomic nervous system
What part of the brain organizes impulses from the senses and sends them on to the appropriate cortical areas?
The amygdala.
How do muscles know when it's time to move?
by nervous system Your body knows when to move because it sends electrical impulses to the brain
What sends electrical impulses from the rods and cones to the brain?
The optic nerve sends electrical signals from the rods and cones in the retina to the brain. These signals are then interpreted by the brain as visual information, allowing us to see.
Which structures sends impulses to the brain that enable it to determine body motion and position?
semicircular canals.
Which part of the brain sends impulses to the autonomic nervous system during life-threating emergencies?
The hernia
What does nervous system do?
Sends reactions to the brain that have to do with feel and touch. The spinal cord is very important. Chemichal messengers send the impulses to the brain
What is a difference between optic nerve and auditory nerve?
Optic nerve is found in the eye which sends the nerve impulses from the eye to the brain. The auditory nerve is present in the ear and sends the nerve impulses from the ear to the brain. They both have the same functions though they're present in different places.
What is the brain's relationship with other organs in your body?
all of your organs are connected to your brain. for example when you touch something hot your brain sends impulses to the body part to move.
How impulses are transmitted and generated?
the brain sends electrical shocks through our nervous system that tells our body how to move, and when to do it.
