When a nerve cell is stimulated, the process is called depolarization. This occurs when the cell membrane's potential becomes less negative, leading to the generation of an action potential if the threshold is reached. The action potential then propagates along the nerve fiber, allowing for the transmission of signals.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when a nerve cell is stimulated by another nerve cell?
they go nerve to nerve till it gets to the brain first is a nerve then the dendrite then the brian
What is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals?
A neuron is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals when stimulated
What causes the electrical charge in the nerve?
The electrical charge in nerves is caused by the movement of ions, such as sodium and potassium, across the nerve cell membrane. This movement creates a difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell, known as the membrane potential. When a nerve is stimulated, this membrane potential changes, allowing for the transmission of electrical signals along the nerve cell.
What is immature nerve cell called?
An immature nerve cell is called a neuroblast. Neuroblasts are precursor cells that will eventually mature into functional nerve cells, such as neurons or glial cells.
Is a nerve a complete cell?
No, a nerve is not a complete cell. Nerves are made up of nerve cells called neurons that consist of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The nerve cell works together with other cells to transmit signals throughout the body.
Muscle cell are stimulated by nerve fiber called a?

What is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals?
A neuron is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals when stimulated
How is a resting potential achieved in the nervous system?
The resting nerve cell is not being stimulated to send a nerve impulse
What stimualtes muscles?
Muscles are stimulated by signals from nerve cells called motor neurons
A nerve cell can also be called a(an) .?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
What are the chemicals called that a nerve cell uses to communicate with another nerve cell or muscle cell?
Neurotransmitters
Which cell contracts when stimulated by nerve impulses?
Muscle cells contract when stimulated by nerve impulses. Specifically, in skeletal muscle, motor neurons release neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, triggering an action potential in the muscle cell. This leads to the release of calcium ions, which facilitate the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, resulting in muscle contraction.

What is nocieptive pain?
Nociceptive pain occurs when pain-sensitive nerve endings called nociceptors are activated or stimulated
What is immature nerve cell called?
An immature nerve cell is called a neuroblast. Neuroblasts are precursor cells that will eventually mature into functional nerve cells, such as neurons or glial cells.
The short branched nerve fibers on the nerve cell that are the receptive areas of the neuron are known as the?
the short branched nerve fibers on the nerve cell are called dendrites
