Explain what occurs during a nerve impulse. what is saltatory conduction\

1 answer:

8 0

During a nerve impulse, At the end of the axon from which the impulse is coming, the membrane depolarizes, gated ion channels open, and calcium ions (Ca2+) are allowed to enter the cell. When the calcium ions rush in, a chemical called a neurotransmitter is released into the synapse. The neurotransmitter binds with receptors on the neuron. A saltatory conduction is the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next node, increasing the conduction velocity of action potentials.

Answer:

Explanation:

$\text{From the given question, we are to copy and complete the passage.}$

$\text{The functional pathway for the gustatory system begins with taste cells whose} \\ \\ \text{function is the} \ \mathbf{sensation} \ \text{of taste. Taste cells form synapses with the} \\ \\ \mathbf{gustatory \ afferent \ axons} \ \text{whose cell bodies are in the gustatory ganglion, }$

$\text{and whose axon form the} \ \mathbf{vagal \ nerves} \text{and the glossopharyngela nerve.} \\ \\ \text{These axons terminate in the gustatory nucleus of the solitary nucleus.} \\ \\ \text{The gustatory nucleus project into the} \ \mathbf{ hypothalamus.} \\ \\ \text{These thalamic nucleus project into the} \ \mathbf{olfactory \ projection} \ \text{in the } \\ \\ \text{parietal cortex and function of these neurons is the} \ \mathbf{ sensation} \ \text{ of taste. } \\ \\$

$\text{It is also important to mention an accessory pathway where only} \ \mathbf{sensory } \\ \\ \text{information travels from the gustatory nucleus to a motor nucleus in the brainstem.} \\ \\ \text{This motor nucleus projects to muscle cells of the esophagus and stomach, producing} \\ \\ \text{reflexive }\mathbf{arc}$
