What is the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?

When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.


Where does the nerve impulse travel from the reflex arc?

The nerve impulse typically travels from the sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed by interneurons, and then to the motor neuron to elicit a response from the effector organ or muscle.


The neurotransmitters of a neutron enable a nerve impulse to do what?

Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.


When the what reaches the end of the axon the neurotransmitter is released?

When the _____________reaches the ends of the axon the neurotransmitter is released and it diffuses to the muscle cell membrane to combine with receptors there?Sarcolemma


A neuron fires only when its membrane reaches what?

A neuron fires when its membrane reaches a certain threshold potential. This threshold potential is typically around -55 to -65 millivolts. When the membrane potential reaches this level, an action potential is triggered and the neuron fires.

What muscles are used when you do step ups?

Various muscles of lower limb and back and hip.Each nerve impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron's. the impulse move rapidly toward the neuron's cell body and then down the axon until it reaches the axon tip. a nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of electrical and chemical signals.

What steps involved in transmitting the impulse from one neuron to another and then to the muscle fiber?

Brain send the message via nerve impulses involving neurons which use the neuro-transmitter AcetylcholineEach nerve impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron's. the impulse move rapidly toward the neuron's cell body and then down the axon until it reaches the axon tip.a nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of electrical and chemical signals.Acetylcholine- a neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction triggers a muscle action potential, which leads to muscle contraction

What is the name of the point at which motor neuron synapses motor end plate?

The point at which a motor neuron synapses with a muscle fiber's motor end plate is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the nerve impulse is transmitted from the motor neuron to the muscle fiber, leading to muscle contraction.
