Question

Nervous System- Describe the path a nerve impulse travels throughout your body from stimulus to response.

Answer 1

The process of the path a nerve impulse travels throughout your body from stimulus to response is given below -

• The receptors at the site of stimulus is the dendrites of the nerves.
• It accepts impulse and it travels through the neuron.
• When a nerve impulse reaches the end of an axon, the axon releases chemicals called neurotransmitters.
• Neurotransmitters travel across the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron.
• Neurotransmitters bind to the membrane of the dendrite.
• The binding allows the nerve impulse to travel through the receiving neuron.
• By this way, it travels from neuron to neuron till it reaches the brain which will respond to the stimulus.
