What is neurons associated with sensory receptor?
third order neuron
What is the location for sensory neurons?
They can be found in the dorsal root ganglia, retina, peripheral vestibular organs, cochlea, and enteric nervous system. Then there are second order sensory neurons in the brain that form the basis of the 'sensory homonculus'.
Can a first order sensory neuron sometimes be a sensory receptor?
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
Do Second-order neurons of ascending sensory pathways always decussate.?
No! Only neurons of the specific (lemniscal) & non-specific (anterolateral) pathways decussate and sensation is therfore interpreted in the opposite cerebral hemisphere.Spinocerebellar ascending pathways transmit proprioceptive sensory stimuli to the same side of the cerebellum.
Where do first order sensory neuron axons reside?
In a ganglion.
What is third order neuron?
A second order neuron is the 2nd neuron to carry an order. The order could be a sensory stimulus or a motor stimulus. For e.g. in order to move a muscle, the order for that muscle to contract starts at the cerebral cortex in the somatomotor area. That is the first order neuron. The axon of the 1st order neuron will synapse with the 2nd order neuron at the level of the brain stem, which commonly decussate (crosses over) to the opposite side. In turn, the axon of the 2nd order neuron will descend along the spinal cord tracts where it will synapse with the 3rd order neuron. The 3rd order neuron is located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, which will exit with the spinal nerve to supply the muscle.
What is the connection between sensory nerves and the neurons in the brain?
Sensory nerves transmit information from sensory receptors in the body to the neurons in the brain. When sensory receptors detect stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain, they send signals through sensory nerves to the brain. Neurons in the brain then process and interpret these signals, allowing us to perceive and respond to the sensory information.
Where do second-order neurons synapse with third-order neurons?
ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamusthalamusin the thalamus
What is the flow of information in a spinal reflex arc in the correct order?
The reflex arc includes the sensory neuron (sensory intake) to the motor neuron (motor response). This two neuron arc is the fastest. Many times an interneuron at the level of the spinal cord is involved. It passes information to the brain more slowly. It is like an "incident report".
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
What is the medical term meaning chemicals released by neurons that stimulate other neurons muscles or glands?
A neurotransmitter is released by neurons in order to signal other neurons, muscles, or glands.neurotransmittersneurotransmitters
What is the difference between motor nerve and sensory nerve and association or connector nerves?
Motor neurons move signals from the central nervous system to a central organ or point, which in this case are muscle and gland cells. This signal makes the cells contract and allow for physical movement (locomotion and other movements such as from the face or the neck). Motor nerves contain axons of somatic and branchial motoneurons. Sensory neurons move signals from the central organ or point to the central nervous system. They receive sensory stimuli and sends the information to the CNS in order to experience how something feels and if it is painful, smooth, rough etc. They are made of sensory fibers: mechanoreceptors fibers that sense body movement and pressure placed against the body and nociceptor fibers that sense tissue injury.Association Nerves are neurons found in the brain and spinal cord that conduct impulses between neurons such as from afferent to efferent neurons. Called also interneurons. Connector Nerves process information that is being sent between the body, brain and spinal cord. The connector neuron
