What else can I help you with?
What happens when an impulse reaches the end of an axon?
It reaches the synapse and sends neurotransmitters to start a new impulse to the next neuron
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 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.
Once transmission of an impulse is started it always?
Once the electrical, within-neuron signal starts, it will continue to the terminal end of the neuron in an all-or-none fashion, unless influenced by another neuron. For example, an inhibitory (e.g., GABA-ergic) neuron can stop or weaken the electrical signal in the first neuron (e.g., by increasing chloride influx). Once the neuron releases its transmitter, though, the transmitter has been released; however, that chemical signal can be modified either post- or pre-synaptically by action at the receptors.

Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
What happens when an impulse reaches the end of an axon?
It reaches the synapse and sends neurotransmitters to start a new impulse to the next neuron
What is released when an impulse reaches the end of a neuron?
The impulse ends in the terminal or synaptic knob. Here neurotransmitters are put in vesicles and travel across the synaptic cleft to the next neuron.
What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
When a neuron transfers an impulse to another neuron or to a muscle cell what is that location that receives the impulse called synapse dendrite receptor NextReset?
The location where a neuron transfers an impulse to another neuron or to a muscle cell is called a synapse. At the synapse, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron or muscle cell, facilitating the transmission of the signal. This process is crucial for communication within the nervous system and between nerves and muscles.
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.
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.

When a neuron reaches its threshold?
When a neuron reaches its threshold, it initiates an action potential. This is a brief electrical impulse that allows for communication between neurons. The action potential travels down the axon of the neuron to transmit signals to other neurons or cells.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
Why would a neuron not send an impulse?
If a neuron is not sending out an impulse or signal, this means the neuron is at rest. Neurons send signals electrochemically.
What is a presynaptic neuron?
a neuron from the axon terminal of which an electrical impulse is transmitted across a synaptic cleft to the cell body or one or more dendrites of a postsynaptic neuron by the release of a chemical neurotransmitter.
