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.
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
Functional difference between a motor and a relay neuron?
Motor neurons are the efferent neuron which carry impulses from CNS to muscles while relay neurons also known as Inter neurons connect both afferent and efferent 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 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
Where are somatic neurons located?
in the CNS
What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
Are all the efferent neurons motor all the afferent neurons sensory and all the CNS neurons inter neurons?
Yes. However, it is better put that most of the interneurons are found in the part of the CNS called the spinal cord.
Where are somatic motor neurons located?
in the CNS
Groups of axons and dendrites in the PNS are called?
A group of axons in the CNS is most likely referring to the tracts of neurons that are found in the spinal cord.
Where do neurons meet?
they meet in the cns or relay naurone
What are collections of neurons?
nuclei in the CNS, ganglia in the PNS
