Which psychological specialty does Dr. Bob research best represent Biological psychology For you to experience the pain of a sprained ankle ____ must first relay incoming pain messages from your ankle to your spinal cord Sensory neurons The function of dendrites is to Receive incoming signals from other neurons A brief electrical charge that travels down the axon of a neuron is called the Action potential With regard to the process of neurotransmission a refractory period Refers to a time Interval and which Positively charged ions are pumped back outside a neural membrane Increasing excitatory signals above the threshold for neural activation it will not affect the intensity of an action potential.

What neurotransmitter is most likely to be at fault? 2 answers QUESTION what can drugs do to neurotransmitters? 15 answers What neurotransmitter is required to transfer messages from a motor neuron to a leg muscle?When the nervous system signal reaches the neuromuscular junction a chemical message is released by the motor neuron. The chemical message, a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, binds to receptors on the outside of the muscle fiber.
What type of neurons send messages to the muscles?Nerves have cells called neurons. Neurons carry messages from the brain via the spinal cord. The neurons that carry these messages to the muscles are called motor neurons.
What is a neurotransmitters reabsorption by the sending neuron?Reuptake is the reabsorption of a neurotransmitter by a neurotransmitter transporter located along the plasma membrane of an axon terminal (i.e., the pre-synaptic neuron at a synapse) or glial cell after it has performed its function of transmitting a neural impulse.
What type of neuron sends signals from the central nervous system to the rest of the body?Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.
