Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
Does a sensory neuron transmit afferent impulses to the cns?
True
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Afferent
What happens if one of your leg motor neuron stop functioning?
The leg wouldn't be able to receive or transmit impulses and information from the central nerves system CNS to the muscle and glands
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
Are most nerves able to carry impulses both toward and away from the cns?
True
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 is the medical term meaning Nerves that carry impulses away from the CNS?
Efferent nerves.the motor neuron transmits the impulse away from the CNS and to the effector
What is the peripheral nevorus system?
It is located outside of the central nervous system and consists of nerves and sensory receptors, it carries impulses formed by receptors, such as pain and sound receptors, to the CNS and it carries impulses from the CNS to effectors, glands and muscles that carry out actions directed by the CNS
What are the different types of nerves cells or neurons differentiate the types based on function?
There are 3 different types of neurons , 1 : sensory for conduction of impulses to CNS , 2 : Inter neuron for integration and 3 : motor for conduction of impulses from CNS to body .
What are axons that conduct impulses from the cerebrum to lower parts of the CNS?
Axons that conduct impulses from the cerebrum to lower parts of the central nervous system (CNS) are called descending axons. These axons transmit motor commands and information from the brain down to the spinal cord and other lower regions of the CNS. They play a crucial role in controlling voluntary movement and coordinating various bodily functions.
