What else can I help you with?
When the receptor have registered a the energy is converted to a electrochemical impulse?
Yes, when a receptor detects a stimulus, it triggers an electrochemical impulse to be sent along a nerve cell. This impulse travels to the brain where it is interpreted as a specific sensation or perception.
In what cells does a smell impulse begin?
A smell impulse begins in olfactory receptor cells located in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity. These receptor cells detect specific odorants and send signals to the brain via the olfactory nerve.
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
Is Serotonin related to the modulation of mood and impulse control?
Yes, serotonin is known to play a role in regulating mood and impulse control. It is commonly referred to as the "happiness hormone" and is involved in managing feelings of well-being and happiness. Imbalances in serotonin levels have been linked to conditions such as depression and anxiety.
What system of the brain controls thinking reasoning impulse control?
The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain responsible for thinking, reasoning, and impulse control. It is involved in decision-making, planning, and regulating emotions. Damage to this area can lead to difficulties in these cognitive functions.
A stimulus is detected and changed to an impulse by what?
receptor
Receptor touch impluse and stimuli which order do they go in?
touch-stimuli-receptor-impulse
When the receptor have registered a the energy is converted to a electrochemical impulse?
Yes, when a receptor detects a stimulus, it triggers an electrochemical impulse to be sent along a nerve cell. This impulse travels to the brain where it is interpreted as a specific sensation or perception.
You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the?
You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the synapses. They are defined as a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.
What pathway does a nerve impulse follow after initiated into a receptor?
nerve my a$$ nerve
What happens for the perception of sensation to take place?
stimulus present, receptor activated, nerve impulse conduction
In what cells does a smell impulse begin?
A smell impulse begins in olfactory receptor cells located in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity. These receptor cells detect specific odorants and send signals to the brain via the olfactory nerve.
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
What is the pathway of an impulse in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
What are the receptors in the cochlea?
organ of corti, is a receptor organ that generates nerve impulse in response to vibration of the basilar membrane.
Does brain have nerve?
The nervous system is made up of three parts: the receptor, the decider, and the effector. The receptor receives an stimulus and creates an electric impulse to be sent to the brain. The brain receives this impulse and decides what to do in order to react to the stimulus. Your brain then makes a decision and sends out an electric impulse to the effector which moves the muscle or activates a gland in your body which is a reaction to the stimulus.
How are hormones similar to neurotransmitters?
A neural impulse is similar to an electrical signal in three ways: 1. there are electrical voltages involved in the movement of the neural impulse; 2. an electrical signal can convey information, as can a neural impulse; 3. an electrical signal can cause an action, like a car starter switch starting the engine, and a neural impulse can cause a muscle to contract to move a limb. (note that with respect to the voltages involved in the neural impulse, the voltages are created by the movement of chemicals, charged particles called ions, somewhat similar to how batteries produce voltages.) (also note that the neural impulse is the signal which moves along the axon, as an action potential.)
