What else can I help you with?
In the nervours system where abouts are the electrical signals?
In the nervous system, electrical signals travel along specialized cells called neurons. These signals are generated in the cell body of the neuron and then travel along the axon, which is a long extension that transmits the signal to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
How are neurotransmitters different from the impulses that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?
no you give an answer im the one that asked the question
What signal travels along the axon?
The high-speed signals that pass along the axon are called action potentials. They spread in a wave of depolarization.
How does electrotonic conduction contribute to the propagation of signals in neurons?
Electrotonic conduction helps propagate signals in neurons by allowing electrical signals to passively spread along the neuron's membrane. This process involves the movement of charged ions, such as sodium and potassium, which creates an electrical gradient that helps transmit signals from one part of the neuron to another.
Which types of electromagnetic waves can be used to send signals along optical fibers?
Only light is used to send signals along optical fibres. That's why this type of fibre is described as "optical". Fibres designed to conduct electrical signals are referred to as "wires".
Along myelinated sections between nodes in a myelinated axon electrical signals are conducted by?
Saltatory conduction is the process by which electrical signals jump between the nodes of Ranvier along myelinated axons, allowing for rapid transmission of action potentials. This occurs because the myelin sheath insulates the axon, forcing the electrical signal to "leap" from node to node where the membrane is exposed.
What is the electrical message that travels along a neuron?
The electrical message that travels along a neuron is called an action potential. It is a brief change in electrical voltage that travels down the length of the neuron, allowing for communication between neurons and the transmission of signals throughout the nervous system.
During an action potential, what happens to the neuron's electrical charge?
During an action potential, the neuron's electrical charge rapidly changes from negative to positive, allowing for the transmission of signals along the neuron.
Electrical signals are sent throughter the body by the?
nervous system, specifically through specialized cells called neurons. Neurons transmit electrical impulses along their length by using a combination of chemical and electrical signaling. These signals allow for communication between different parts of the body and are fundamental for processes like movement, sensation, and thought.
How is a nervous system like a communications system?
Signals are sent along the nerves of your body to your brain, where they are interpreted. The brain may send signals back instructing muscles to contract or expand, causing one's arm or other appendage to move.
How are neurotransmitters different from the impulse that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells at synapses, while impulses refer to the electrical signals that travel along the nerve cells themselves. Neurotransmitters bridge the gap between two nerve cells, whereas impulses are the electrical messages that travel along the length of a nerve cell.
What does transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation do?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) uses a battery-powered device generating weak electrical impulses applied along the course of affected nerves to block pain signals traveling to the brain.
