Nerve-impulses Sentence Examples

The nerve impulses cause the muscles to contract, thus narrowing the airway.

But when neurons are linked together it is found that nerve impulses will only pass from neuron A to neuron B, and not from neuron B to neuron A; that is, the transmission of the excited state or nervous impulse, although possible in each neuron both up and down its own cell branches, is possible from one nerve cell to another in one direction only.

That direction is the direction in which the nerve impulses flow under the conditions of natural life.

This trophic influence which one neuron exerts upon others, or upon the cells of an extrinsic tissue, such as muscle, is exerted in that direction which is the one normally taken by the natural nerve impulses.

A continuous lesser "change" or stream of changes sets through the neuron, and is distributed by it to other neurons in the same direction and by the same synapses as are its nerve impulses.

Failure to transmit nerve impulses ultimately results in paralysis of the louse.

Intention is a powerful force; it begins to activate the nervous system and triggers nerve impulses into muscles.

These chlorinated hydrocarbons work mainly by blocking nerve impulses necessary for normal bodily functions.

The result is that the transmission of nerve impulses through neural networks becomes modified.

The action of the muscles is directed by nerve impulses.

When the nerve impulses send the signals to your brain, it is unable to tell the difference of an imagined or real situation or occurrence.

By the end of a month, the nerve impulses start to return to the apparently paralyzed muscle and by the end of six months, recovery is almost complete.

Much attention has focused on the connection between schizophrenia and neurotransmitters, the chemicals that transmit nerve impulses within the brain.

A neurotransmitter is a chemical produced by the body that conveys nerve impulses across the gaps (synapses) between nerve cells.

Although epilepsy is a collective term for a variety of different types of seizures, all forms of epilepsy start with a random discharge of nerve impulses into the brain.

Stimulating a nerve cell triggers nerve impulses (signals) that speed down the axon.

These nerve impulses then stimulate the end of an axon to release chemicals called neurotransmitters that spread out and communicate with the dendrites of neighboring nerve cells.

This covering helps speed nerve impulses along the axon.

This loss of myelin can short circuit nerve impulses (messages) and interrupt cell communication.

Inner ear-The interior section of the ear, where sound vibrations and information about balance are translated into nerve impulses.

This effect allows the flow of nerve impulses to return to normal.

Certain neurological conditions that are present at birth or develop later in life may interrupt the nerve impulses to the brain that in turn send messages to the penis to become erect.

It is not only needed to help regulate our mood and sleep, but it also transmits nerve impulses from the brain and as a neurotransmitter controls feelings like thirst and hunger.

Serotonin is necessary for regulation of both sleep and mood and is essential for transmitting nerve impulses from the brain.

This happens because nerve impulses speed up at higher temperatures.
