What structure of a neuron is capable of propagating an electrical impulse?
the dendrites are
What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
On which direction does an impulse go across a synapse?
An impulse travels in one direction across a synapse, from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron. This ensures that the signal transmission in the nervous system is unidirectional.
When the nerve impulse encounters a myelin-covered section of neuron?
When the nerve impulse encounters a myelin-covered section of a neuron, it jumps between the nodes of Ranvier, allowing for faster transmission speed due to saltatory conduction. Myelin acts as an insulator, preventing the impulse from dissipating and increasing the efficiency of signal transmission along the neuron.
Which neuron function is most likely affected by diisopropyl flurophosphate?
Synaptic Transmission...concerns impulse condution
Is the place where a neuron transfers an impluse to another structure?
The place were neurons transfer an impulse to another structure is called a synapses. This is actually a gap between these 2 structures and the impulse has to cover that.
What is the difference between impulse conduction and transmission?
Impulse conduction refers to the propagation of action potentials along a single neuron or muscle fiber. Impulse transmission involves the transfer of action potentials from one neuron to another across a synapse. In summary, conduction occurs within a single cell, while transmission occurs between cells.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
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.
Transmission of an impulse between neurons depends primarily on?
The transmission between neurons depends on the number of neurotransmitters that are present. If there aren't enough transmitters, the impulse is not passed into the second neuron, meaning it's cut down. If there are enough, it leads to an action potential (nerve impulse) in the second neuron. The nerve system is a rather confusing, and very technical, system in the body.
What begins when a neuron is stimulate by another neuron in its environment?
A nerve impulse
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
