Where are post ganglionic neurons cell bodies located?
Postganglionic neuron cell body lies outside the CNS in an autonomic ganglion
What do PNS motor neurons do?
These neurons connect the CNS to various muscles and glands throughout the body.
What are the three types of neuron?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
Where in the body would you find interneurons?
lies between sensory neurons and motor neurons, and some take messages from one side of the sponal cord to the other or from the brain to the cord, and vice versa
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
Collection of cell bodies found outside the cns?
neurons is the incorrect answer. The correct answer is ganglia.
Where are post ganglionic neurons cell bodies located?
Postganglionic neuron cell body lies outside the CNS in an autonomic ganglion
What carries impulses toward the neuron cell body?
Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.
What are 3 types of neurons?
Sensory neurons: Transmit sensory information from the body to the brain. Motor neurons: Control muscles and glands, enabling movement and bodily functions. Interneurons: Process information within the central nervous system, facilitating communication between sensory and motor neurons.
Function of the nerve cell?
It sends out messages from one to the other part of your body.A nerve cell is also called a neuron. Its function is to transmit information between the central nervous system (CNS) & the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Motor neurons transmit from the CNS to the PNS Sensory neurons transmit from the PNS to the CNS. There is another kind called an interneuron, which transmits information between neurons in the CNS.
What are the three broad categories of neurons?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS

What is the function of cells in the human body?
Nerve cells specialized on transmitting messages from one part of the body to another. Motor neurons send information away from the central nervous system (CNS). Sensory neurons send information toward the CNS. Inter-neurons send information between motor and sensory neurons.
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What contains the nucleus?
The cell nucleus contains the chromosomes, and therefore the DNA The term 'nucleus' has a different meaning when talking about the nervous system; in this instance the nucleus is the cell body of neurons within the CNS
