It is in the inner ear that we find the structures that translate the mechanical energy of sound into nerve impulses.
The impulses from the ear are carried to the brain by the auditory nerve, also known as the eighth cranial nerve or vestibulocochlear nerve. This nerve is responsible for transmitting sound and balance information from the inner ear to the brainstem.
Sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses in the inner ear. The vibrations are detected by hair cells in the cochlea, which then stimulate the auditory nerve to send signals to the brain for processing and interpretation of sound.
The process of turning energy into nerve impulses is called neurophysiology. Nerve impulses, also known as action potentials, are electrical signals that travel along the axon of a neuron to transmit information within the nervous system. This process involves the movement of ions across the neuron's cell membrane.
Neurons carry nerve impulses in the form of electrical signals. These signals are generated by changes in the electrical charge of the cell membrane, allowing for communication between neurons and other cells in the body.
No, ventricular systole refers to the contraction of the ventricles in the heart. Nerve impulses originate from specialized cells called neurons in the nervous system. These impulses are responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body, including to the heart to regulate its activity.
The dendrites are the root-like structures of a nerve that receive electrical impulses The dendrites then conduct the impulse to the cell body. Dendrites are root-like structures of a nerve cell that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body.

the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS

Nerve impulses are electrical signals.
Structures adapted to convert stimuli into nerve impulses are called receptors. Receptors can be specialized cells or structures within the body that detect a specific type of stimulus, such as light, sound, pressure, or chemicals, and then convert that stimulus into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system.

Nerve impulses are measured in MiliVolts (mv)
Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized to receive and transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. They have structures called dendrites that receive signals from other neurons, and an axon that transmits signals to other cells. Neurons have a membrane potential that allows them to generate and transmit electrical impulses known as action potentials.
The medical term for root-like structures of a nerve that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body is "dendrites." Dendrites are specialized extensions of nerve cells that branch out to receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body for processing.
No, that is just nerve impulses
