Does a efferent neuron convey information away from the hippocampus?

∙ 14y ago
Technically efferent neurons carry information AWAY from anything, afferent neurons carry information TOWARD something. So the hippocampus may have efferent information going to other parts of the brain (limbic structures, frontal lobe structures, etc). Most often efferent information refers to motor output in or to the peripheral nervous system.

What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.
Where is neuron type found in ventral horn?
Efferent (motor)
An axon of an efferent neuron could synapse with?
Sense organ
What are two types of conduction in a neuron?
afferent and efferent Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain) Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
What is the structure of a neuron and its role in the brain?
A neuron has dendrites (as inputs), a cell body (soma), and an output (axon).The neuron is the functional unit of the brain: neurons receive sensory information, process that information, store it, and convey commands to muscles and glands based on that information and its processing.
What is Efferent Neurons?
A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.
What type of neuron carries information to the CNS?
Afferent neurons carry information to the CNS, and efferent neuron carries it away.
Neurons that conduct impulses away from the CNS to muscle and glands?
Efferent neuron
What is intermixed neuron?
a neuron which recieve both messages from afferent and efferent neuron...
What type of neuron connects to a muscle?
A motor or efferent neuron.
Why is an efferent neuron multipolar?
Efferent neuron is a neuron that regulate the action of a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. It is a neuron which produces impulses outward from the brain or spinal cord, so its consider a multi-polar neuron.
An efferent neuron carries impulses in the direction opposite of?
opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.
What type of neuron that sends information from sensory receptors toward the central nervous system?
Central nervous system....
What is an efferent neuron?
A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.
Is an efferent neuron motory or sensory?
Motor
Neuron that conducts impulses away from CNS to muscles and glands?
