What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Neurons transmit nerve impulses/ electric impulses throughout the body.
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
What is the similarities of neurons and motor neurons?
Functionally, neurons come in three varieties; motor neurons, sensory neurons and interneurons. Motor neurons conduct motor impulses from the CNS to the muscles. Sensory neurons conduct motor impulses from the rest of the body to the CNS. Interneurons connect the sensory to the motor so we can respond to incoming sensory stimuli.
Neurons transmit signals acrossed a?
Neurons transmit signals across a synapse
What are two major types of cells that form nervous tissue?
First is the neuroglia, function is to support and protect the cells of the nervous system. Second is neurons, which are responsible for conducting nerve impulses from one part of the body to another.
What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Neurons transmit nerve impulses/ electric impulses throughout the body.
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.
Nerve cells that transmit nerve impulses in the form of electrochemical changes are known as?
Neurons
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
What cells transmit and receive impulses?
nervous tissue.
What is the part of the body made up of bundles of neurons that carry impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all parts of the body?
The nervous system carries impulses to and from the brain by way of neurons. The bundles are called nerves. Sensory nerves bring impulses into the spinal cord and brain and motor neuron carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.
Is it true that motor neurons receive nerve impulses from the central nervous system causing muscle fibers to contract?
It would be more accurate to say that the neurons transmit the impulses, rather than that they receive them.
Is it true that Dendrites are branching cytoplasmic projections of neurons that receive impulses and transmit them to the cell body?
true
Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
Is our spinal cord made of bundles of neurons that carry impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all the parts of your body?
Yes, the spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons called nerve tracts or tracts of white matter. These tracts carry sensory information from different parts of the body to the brain, as well as transmit motor signals from the brain to various parts of the body to control movement.
What is an afferent neuron?
Afferent neurons are those that transmit signals from sensory transducers to the central nervous system (i.e., the spinal cord and the brain). The complementary group of neurons are the efferent neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to effectors, that generate a response to the environmental input.
