There is no relay station in nerve impulse conduction.
Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the thalamus before being relayed to the appropriate regions in the brain for processing. The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information, helping to regulate which signals are sent to the cortex for further analysis.
Somatic sensory nerve impulses from the head travel through the cranial nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve (V), facial nerve (VII), and glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). These nerves carry sensory information to the brainstem, specifically to the trigeminal nerve nuclei, which process and relay the information to higher brain regions for further processing and perception.
The Optic Nerve
Unmyelinated nerve fibers conduct impulses more slowly than myelinated nerve fibers. Myelinated nerve fibers have a fatty substance called myelin sheath that allows for faster transmission of impulses compared to unmyelinated fibers without this sheath.
impulses travel down cranial nerve 2 to what lobe
Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the thalamus before being relayed to the appropriate regions in the brain for processing. The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information, helping to regulate which signals are sent to the cortex for further analysis.
The thalamus is the main relay station for all sensory impulses going to the cortex of the brain, except olfactory sensations. Afferent nerve fibers come into the thalamus, which sends the signals on to the correct part of the cerebral cortex for processing. This is a large, oval structure located on either side of the third ventricle of the brain.
It depends on which group of thalamic nuclei that you are referring to.anterior group of nuclei = relay station for hippocampal impulsesmedial group of nuclei = relay station for visceral impulsesanterior ventral group of nuclei = relay station for extrapyramidal impulsesintermediate ventral group of nuclei = relay station for cerebellar impulses concerned with integration of muscle tonepostero-lateral ventral group of nuclei = relay station for exteroceptive impulses & proprioceptive impulses from the opposite side of the body below the headpostero-medial ventral group of nuclei = relay station for exteroceptive and proprioceptive impulses from opposite side of headinterlaminar + midline + reticular nuclei = participate in the arousal reactions of the brain
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
nerve impulses
Nerve impulses are electrical signals.
vagus nerve
transmission of nerve impulses from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron,located in the central nervous system.
Nerve impulses are measured in MiliVolts (mv)
No, that is just nerve impulses
Somatic sensory nerve impulses from the head travel through the cranial nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve (V), facial nerve (VII), and glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). These nerves carry sensory information to the brainstem, specifically to the trigeminal nerve nuclei, which process and relay the information to higher brain regions for further processing and perception.
