Is it true that motor neurons pass messages from neuron to neuron?

Yes, an electrical signal is passed from the dendrites of 1 motor neuron, through it's cell body, through it's axon (the long tail looking feature of the neuron). It then travels through branches of the axon and forms synapses with other motor neurons, this is how the electrical signal is passed.

How neurons send messages?
The messages are carried by chemical messenger across the neurons (synapses). It is actually an enzyme which is released from one end of the synapse and which triggers the electrical message to pass through each cell from side to side.

What is the Function of Neurons?
Sensory neurons relay information from sense organs, motor neurons carry impulses to muscles and glands, and inter-neurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor neurons. A typical neuron consists of dendrites (fibres that receive stimuli and conduct them inward), a cell body (a nucleated body that receives input from dendrites), and an axon (a fibre that conducts the nerve impulse from the cell body outward to the axon terminals). Both axons and dendrites may be referred to as nerve fibres. Impulses are relayed by neurotransmitter chemicals released by the axon terminals across the synapses (junctions between neurons or between a neuron and an effector cell, such as a muscle cell) or, in some cases, pass directly from one neuron to the next. Large axons are insulated by a myelin sheath formed by fatty cells called Schwann cells. Bundles of fibres from neurons held together by connective tissue form nerves.

Which way does a dendrite conduct nerve impulses to the cell body?
the dendrites pick up msgs from other neurons lying nearby.they pass the msg to the cellbody, and then along the axon, the axon might then pass it on to another neurones. from the receptorto the sensory neuron to the relay neurons to the motor neuron to the muscle
What does a interconnecting neurone do?
Are the nuerones that pass nerve impulses from sensory neurons to the motor neurons.
Which neuron receives information?
actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.
What are relay neurons?
An interneuron (also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) is a neuron that forms a connection between other neurons. Interneurons are neither motor nor sensory.
These cells are able to pass messages back and forth?
Nerve cells are able to pass messages back and forth. There are three types of nerve cells in humans, motor neurons, interneurons and sensory neurons.
How neurons send messages?
The messages are carried by chemical messenger across the neurons (synapses). It is actually an enzyme which is released from one end of the synapse and which triggers the electrical message to pass through each cell from side to side.
What is the majority of all afferent pathways pass through and synapse with neurons?
The motor neuron is the final common pathway for all neurons to travel to complete their synapse. Afferent neurons or unipolar neurons all pass through the cord and brain on this journey.
What kind of neuron sends a message from the brain to the muscles in a persons arm to control the movement involved in putting clothes on?
There are basically two kinds of neurons- sensory and motor. Motor neurons are responsible for passing on messages from the brain, to the effector muscles, while performing a voluntary action (they also do that for involuntary actions) Sensory neurons on the other hand, detect a stimulus, and pass on the message to the brain, which analyses the information, decides the course of action, and passes on the message back through the motor neuron, to the effector muscles.
How many functions of neurons in the nervous system?
Neurons are pathways for electrical messages to pass through. Their main function is to pass a message from one neuron to another. As a whole, they transmit these messages between a receptor (something that picks up a stimulus. A stimulus includes things such as temperature, pressure, pain etc.), the brain and an effector (something which carries out the response to the stimulus). There are three main types of neurons: Sensory neurons - receive message from receptor and transmit it to the -> Interneurons - receive message from sensory neurons and pass it on to the brain*. The brain responds and the interneurons pass the message on to the -> Motor neurons - receive message from interneurons and pass it on to an effector. *In the case of a reflex arc, where there is an unconscious response (e.g. touching a hot object) the message will bypass the brain and go straight from receptor to sensory to interneuron to motor to effector.
What cells are able to pass messages back and forth?
The cells that are able to pass messages back and fourth are called neurons. These neurons are found in the brain.
Which bulb-shaped structures found at the end of neurons form connections with the dendrites and somas of other neurons and allow information to pass from neuron to neuron?

What is a description of synapses?
A synapse is the connection between neurons, allowing them to pass signals between each other. A synapse may also be between a neuron and a non-neuron cell, such as a muscle cell, to trigger a reaction.Helping to send messages to and from the brain.
