    hamburger encounters the olfactory cilia‚ located in the supporting olfactory epithelium. The cilia pass along the impulse of the odor thru the olfactory cell‚ then further onto the axon bundle‚ before passing through the cribriform plate. Upon leaving that boney structure‚ the signal hops a ride on the olfactory bulb. The bulb in turn feeds impulses on to the olfactory nerve. This nerve enters the brain and will cause the subject to understand the odor to be hamburger‚ of which he wants to eat. The

    this range‚ there is a system in body called the negative feedback system‚ which is where the systems attempt a normal body temperature. When temperatures go outside of this range in a particular place in the body‚ a stimulus to a receptor sends nerve impulses to a regulating centre in the brain. The brain sends an effector to the spot to

    receptor is responsible for activating a nerve impulse in a sensory neuron that responds to a change in the body’s internal and external environment. The sensory neuron conducts the impulse needed from the receptor to travel to its axonal end in the CNS. The center is the receiving area in which the incoming sensory impulse connects with an outgoing motor impulse‚ which helps with connecting and transmission. The motor neuron is responsible for transmitting the impulse to the proper body part. And finally

    example of a specialised animal cell could be of a nerve cell. The nerve cell contains axons of motor and sensory neurons‚ which are in bundles of fascicles. They are surrounded by connective tissue which is the sheath of perineurium which ensures that the cells do not get damaged. This lso helps do that the function of the cell is carried out correctly (Nerve Anatomy or Structure (Expanded View)‚ 2017). The function of a nerve cell is to emit impulses through electrical signals fromt the brain to the
