The wave travels something like ripples along the surface of a pond, moving from the oval window down to the other end of the cochlea. The basilar membrane has a peculiar structure. It's made of 20,000 to 30,000 reed-like fibers that extend across the width of the cochlea. Near the ...
Myelin is made of fat, and it helps to speed transmission of a nerve impulse down a long axon. Myelinated neurons are typically found in the peripheral nerves (sensory and motor neurons), while nonmyelinated neurons are found within the brain and spinal cord. Dendrites or nerve endings: ...
When a nerve impulse travels along an axon at about 200 miles per hour, then you know that \\ a. polarization has begun. b. an action potential is occurring. c. a negative after-potential has been completed. d. a...
This change of polarity triggers a neural impulse that travels through the nervous system to theinsect brain, informing its next move. The insect has smell the odor and will pursue a mate, find a source of food, or make its way home, accordingly. ...
How can neurotransmitters play a role in mental illness? Explain the functions of receptors, sensory neuron, interneuron and motor neuron and explain how an electric impulse travels down the neuron from its initiation to its transmission, including structur ...

What properties of myelin lead to myelinated cells having a more rapid signal transmission than unmyelinated cells?If a nerve impulse travels at 1 meter/sec, how long does it take for that impulse to travel? (a) 1 meter (b) 0.5 meter (c) 0.1 meter (d) 1 cm. (e) 1 mm....
it pushes and pulls on the part of the basilar membrane just below the oval window. This force starts a wave moving along the surface of the membrane. The wave travels something like ripples along the surface of a pond, moving from the oval window down to the other end of the cochlea....
