Does the motor neurons carry information from the periphery to the CNS?
yes
What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Afferent
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.
Found in the periphery of the retina?
Sclera on the outer periphery and vitreous fluid on the inner periphery.
Can sensory nerves send information from your brain to your hand?
No , they send from hand to cns .
Does motor neurons carry information from the periphery to the CNS?
yes
Does the motor neurons carry information from the periphery to the CNS?
yes
What do the terms afferent and efferent mean?
· Afferent and efferent divisions are:o Sensory (afferent) Division§ Somatic afferent nerves - carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the CNS§ Visceral afferent nerves - transmit impulses from visceral organs to the CNSo Motor (efferent) Division§ Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles and glands, to effect (bring about) a motor responseAfferent nerves are the one that carry the information from periphery to central nervous system for further processing. While efferent nerves carry the processed information from central nervous system towards the periphery for action.
What type of neuron carries information to the CNS?
Afferent neurons carry information to the CNS, and efferent neuron carries it away.
If the ventral root of a spinal nerve were cut would there be a complete loss of voluntary movement in the tissue or region that nerve supplies?
Cutting the ventral root of a spinal nerve will denervate all target organs that receive efferent innervation from that spinal nerve.Spinal nerves are made by the joining of dorsal and ventral roots of a spinal cord segment. Dorsal roots generally carry sensory information, while ventral roots generally carry motor innervation. Another way to say this is that dorsal roots carry information from the periphery to the central nervous system (CNS) in an afferent direction, while ventral roots carry information from the CNS to the periphery in an efferentdirection. Afferent information is generally sensory in nature, while efferent information includes signals to trigger muscular contraction as well as gland secretion, hormone synthesis, etc.
Carries impulses between the periphery and CNS areas?
Spinal Cord
What are the nerves that gather information from the environment and carry it to the CNS?
The sensory nerves
One that carries impulses between the periphery and CNS areas is called?
projection tract
The part of the peripheral nervous system that carries the sensory information to the CNS is designated?
The afferent division of the PNS carries impulses inward to a central organ or section, as nerves that conduct impulses from the periphery of the body to the brain or spinal cord
How does the nervous system usually communicate with the rest of the body?
Peripheral nerves carry information to the CNS, which processes the information and sends a message back telling the body how to respond.
What are the functions of afferent and efferent nerves?
Afferent nerves carry sensory information from the body to the brain, allowing us to sense touch, temperature, pain, and other stimuli. Efferent nerves, on the other hand, transmit signals from the brain to the muscles and glands, enabling movement and physical responses.
What is the function of an efferent neuron?
nerve fibres which carry the commands from the CNS out to (muscles, organs, glands) for a motor output or response.
