    hair and a taste pore. As you eat‚ food particles mix with saliva and enter the taste pore‚ in turn interacting with the gustatory hair. Once it is stimulated‚ the message then travels down your glossopharyngeal cranial nerve in order for you to interpret the taste. These neural impulses are transmitted through neurons and membrane potentials. Your insula then uses the gustatory cortex to interpret the sensory information from your tastebuds and you are able to determine that the burger you are eating

    is received‚ the neuron will then send neurotransmitters to the next neuron through the axon. After the neurotransmitters pass through the axon they are released through the terminal buttons. Then‚ the nerve impulses pass to a nerve cell at a site called the synapse. At this site‚ the impulse is transmitted to the other cell. The neurotransmitters must pass through a gap between the cells. This gap is called the synaptic cleft. Through this gap‚ the neurotransmitters are allowed to flow out of

    Upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons act to carry nerve impulses from the brain out to the muscles in the body. Upper motor neurons supply input to the lower motor neurons. They do this by either synapsing directly to lower motor neurons‚ or by synapsing with a local circuit neuron‚ which then synapses with a lower motor neuron. The upper motor neurons originate in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or brainstem. The neurons from the cerebral cortex are important for planning‚ initiating
