Broad question and answer...of course the general health of the system as well as local things like drugs and alcohol, but also so-called spiritual or metaphysical triggers can affect the performance. There is much study going on now, but science is still in grade school on the broader ideas. A positive outlook in all areas of life sciences aids discovery. Prayer is efficacious.

What happens if the myelin sheath is damaged?
If the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve signals may slow down or be disrupted, leading to problems with movement, sensation, and coordination. This can result in various neurological symptoms, such as weakness, numbness, and tingling. In severe cases, it can lead to conditions like multiple sclerosis.
When neuron stimulated enough it?
When a neuron is stimulated enough, it reaches its threshold potential and fires an action potential. This action potential travels down the axon of the neuron, allowing for the communication of signals to other neurons or cells.
Communication within a neuron is electrical while communication between neurons is chemical.?
Yes, that's correct. Within a neuron, communication occurs through electrical signals that travel along the neuron's axon. When these signals reach the synapse (junction between neurons), they trigger the release of chemical neurotransmitters that carry the signal to the next neuron.
The part of the neuron that has branched extensions that are specialized to receive information are the?
dendrites. Dendrites are specialized structures on a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating information from multiple sources to determine the neuron's response.
The resting potential of a neuron is approximately?
The resting potential of a neuron is approximately -70 millivolts. This is due to the difference in charge across the neuron's membrane, with the inside being more negatively charged compared to the outside.
What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters
What bridges the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that bridge the gap, known as the synaptic cleft, between a neuron sending a message (presynaptic neuron) and the neuron receiving it (postsynaptic neuron). These neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron in response to an electrical signal and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing changes in its electrical activity.
What happens to the neurotransmitters that fail to attach to a receptor site?
In a process called reuptake, they are reabsorbed by sending the neuron and recycled.
What happens to neurotransmitters that fail to attach to a receptor site?
In a process called reuptake, they are reabsorbed by sending the neuron and recycled.
What name is given to a neuron that is not sending a nervous impulse?
A neuron that is not sending a nervous impulse is typically referred to as a resting neuron. In its resting state, the neuron is polarized with a negative internal charge.
The part of the neuron that decided if the message will travel to the next neuron or not is the what?
The axon terminal is the part of the nerve responsible for sending the message at all. Not only does it send the message, though, it has branching paths which allow it to determine which path it'll go on.
What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
How does a signal travels down a neuron?
Best Answer: They make chemicals that are gas-like. Neurotransmitters.
Define relay neuron?
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
What neuron is before a synapse?
The synapse consists of the two neurons, one of which is sending information to the other. The sending neuron is known as the pre-synaptic neuron (i.e. before the synapse) while the receiving neuron is known as the post-synaptic neuron (i.e. after the synapse).
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron
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.
