Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the?
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.
How do somatic sensory nerve impulses get to the brainstem from the head itself?
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.
What carries nerve impulses from eyes to brain?
The Optic Nerve
Which nerve fiber do impulses travel slowly?
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.
What lobe has impulses traveling down the cranial nerve 2?
The occipital lobe receives impulses traveling down cranial nerve 2. This nerve, known as the optic nerve, is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain for processing.

What is the relay center for sensory impulses?
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.
What is the medial nuclei of the thalamus?
The medial nuclei of the thalamus are a group of nuclei located in the middle part of the thalamus. They play a role in processing emotions, motivation, and memory. These nuclei are involved in relaying information to and from the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex.
Where does the spinal nerve take nerve impulses?
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
Are Nerve impulses electrical signaled?
Nerve impulses are electrical signals.
What is the message called that a neuron carries?
nerve impulses
What nerve is a mixed cranial nerve that conducts sensory impulses from and motor impulses from and motor impulses to the thoracic and abdominal viscera?
vagus nerve
What is the function of a relay neron?
transmission of nerve impulses from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron,located in the central nervous system.
What does Mv means in Nerve Impulses?
Nerve impulses are measured in MiliVolts (mv)
Do fish heads survive decapitation or is it just nerve impulses?
No, that is just nerve impulses

Which part of the body that functions as an automatic brain in its own right and is a relay station for impulses to and from the higher brain?
Spinal cord
