Which type of neurons carries impulse from sense organs to spinal cord or brain?
Sensory neurons
Most of the neurons in the brain and spinal cord are?
most of the neurons in the brain and spinal cord are
What is the direction of impulse for motor neurons?
The direction of impulse for motor neurons is away from the brain.
Neurons that function within the brain and spinal cord are called?
interneurons also called central or association neurons
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
The reason why Sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons is:_ Afferent Neurons mean the neurons carries the nerve impulse toward the brain (CNS) or the spinal cord (PNS)._ Sensory which always begins from the outside spaces, or peripheral places outside from CNS or PNS, need to be carried to CNS or PNS to analyze.That's the reason why they called sensory neurons as afferent neurons which bring sensor toward the brain or spinal cord and it's exactly the way where sensory goes
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
The brain and spinal cord contain conducting cells called?
neurons
An efferent nerve takes an impulse towards the brain?
The nerve that takes the impulses to the brain would be vagus.
compare the central and the peripheral nervous system?
The Central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.The brain is the control center for all activities in the body.It is made of billions of neurons. The spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons.Sensory neurons send impulse to the brain.All the nerves outside CNS ( Central Nervous System) that connects the brain and spinal cord to other body parts are part of the Peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system includes 12 pairs of nerves from your brain called cranial nerves, and 31 pairs of nerves from your spinal cord called Spinal nerves.
What kind of impulse carries impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
A reflex. Reflexes are processed by the spinal cord in order to provide a quicker reaction than would be achieved if the signal travelled all the way to the brain and back.
What are neutrons that pickup sensations from receptors and carry them into the brain and spinal cord called?
motor neurons
Which type of neurons impulses from sense organs to the spinal or brain?
Sensory neurons
