What is the function of cells in the human body?
Nerve cells specialized on transmitting messages from one part of the body to another. Motor neurons send information away from the central nervous system (CNS). Sensory neurons send information toward the CNS. Inter-neurons send information between motor and sensory neurons.
Which neurons transmit information to the brain and spinal cord?
Sensory neurons gather information and send it to your spinal cord.
What are neurons that detect stimuli in the environment?
They are nerves. These nerves tell us exactly what we feel, and then send that information to the brain.
What do the lower neurons do?
You are probably speaking of "lower motor neurons." These are neurons that send information from the spinal cord to the muscles of the body & they travel within all most of the nerves of the body (like sciatic, median, etc). These neurons are controlled by "upper motor neurons" and control your muscles to allow you to be able to move.
Main function of neurons?
To collect and send information across the body to perform functions
How many major classes of neurons are there?
There are three major classes of neurons: sensory neurons, which receive information from the external environment; interneurons, which process and integrate this information; and motor neurons, which send signals to muscles and glands to produce a response.
Where do neurons send signals in the human body?
Neurons send signals to other neurons, muscles, and glands in the human body.
What cells send information to the spinal cord?
Sensory neurons are responsible for sending information to the spinal cord. These neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors in the body to the spinal cord, which then relays the information to the brain for processing.
How do the types of neurons found in the CNS and pns differ in their function?
Sensory (afferent) neurons conduct sensory information toward the CNS.The brain and spinal cord contain interneurons. These receive information and if they are sufficiently stimulated, they stimulate other neurons.Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send information from interneurons to muscle or gland cells (effectors).
Human Nerve Cells?
Nerve cells specialized on transmitting messages from one part of the body to another. Motor neurons send information away from the central nervous system (CNS). Sensory neurons send information toward the CNS. Inter-neurons send information between motor and sensory neurons.
Where do sensory neurons send messages to in the body?
Sensory neurons send messages to the brain and spinal cord in the body.
What are neurons serve as links between the sensory neurons and the motor neurons?
Interneurons, which make sense--they're the intermediaries. Many interneurons can send simultaneous messages to the brain and motor neurons--this is called a reflex arc.This is the interneuron. It is in the spinal cord. They act as a "go between" the sensory neuron and the motor neuron. They also send information to the brain so that the brain is aware.Reflex arcs do NOT have these interneurons.
