Which neuron has its cell body inside the spinal cord?
cell body
What is the withdraw reflex?
a spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli.
What Acts as a reflex center of the body?
the spinal cord
What is the basis for the functional classification of neurons?
Functionally, neurons or nerve cells are classified into three types,1. Sensory or afferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals towards brain.2. Motor or efferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals away from brain.3. Inter-neuron which is present in gray matter of spinal cord and convert sensory signals into appropriate motor signals during spinal reflex.
Which part of the reflex arc changes body condition levels?
integration neuron or interneuron
Where does synapses occur in the spinal cord?
Cell body of sensory neuron - in dorsal root ganglion. Cell body of motor neuron - in anterior gray horn.
Which part of a reflex arc would have a cell body in the posterior root ganglion?
sensory neuron
What carry's impulse between the spinal cord and body parts?
Nerves. Spinal cord, nerve, effector organ (parts of body) are all components in the reflex arc. Hope I helped, 2000AD.
Does the spinal cord control reflexes?
The spinal cord relays messages between the brain and body, making it possible to move and fell sensation.
What are the advantages of the fact that most reflex actions are governed by spinal cord?
Reflex actions are governed by three neurons only. If some body tries to hit on your eye, you blink by reflex action. Here again only three neurons are involved, although the middle neuron passes through your brain. Reflex action means only three neurons are involved and that saves lot of time required to think over the serious matter. So in reflex action you respond first and then brain notice the problem.The spinal reflex is fast. The reason it is fast is because the decisions are made at spinal cord level, rather than the nerves having to travel up to the brain and back down to the source.Because you are able to react quicker without having to think about it.1 It reduces the work load of brain. 2 The reflex action is under control of spinal cord, the message is sent to the brain later on.If it would have been under control of brain, it would have reqired longer duration for us to react, which has potential to cause damage to body tissue. Hence presence of spinal cord increases efficiency of reflex action.
How are the functions of the brain and spinal cord different?
There is upper motor neuron in spinal cord. There is lower motor neuron in the spinal nerve.
What body system does the neuron belong to?
Nervous System - since brain and the spinal cord are part of it.
