How nerve impulsive are transmitted from the receptor to central nervous system to effectors?

Nerve impulses are transmitted from the receptor to the central nervous system via sensory neurons. In the central nervous system, the impulse is processed and may be relayed to motor neurons that carry the impulse to effectors such as muscles or glands to produce a response. This pathway allows for communication and coordination between different parts of the body.

The amygdala, located in the brain's limbic system, plays a central role in processing emotions like fear and anxiety.

Together, these mechanisms work in concert to generate and regulate emotional responses in the brain and body.
