What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.
What are two types of conduction in a neuron?
afferent and efferent Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain) Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?
Efferent
Does a efferent neuron convey information away from the hippocampus?
Technically efferent neurons carry information AWAY from anything, afferent neurons carry information TOWARD something. So the hippocampus may have efferent information going to other parts of the brain (limbic structures, frontal lobe structures, etc). Most often efferent information refers to motor output in or to the peripheral nervous system.
Is the efferent tract the major ascending tract?
YES
Will the efferent explode?
All organs can be damaged; the term explosion is not adequate.
What neurons carrry impulses from the brain or spinal cord out to the other organs and please answer?
Motor or efferent neurons.
How is the afferent and efferent pathway important for sensation in your body?
Afferent pathways communicate sensory information (e.g. pain, cold) from your sensory organs to your central nervous system. Efferent pathways communicate information from your central nervous system to your effector organs (e.g. muscles and glands).
Neurons that collect messages from sense organs and carry those to the spinal cord or the brain are called?
afferent nerves
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 neurons carry impulses away from the spinal cord and the brain?
the sensory neurons
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.
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.
Is the vena cava an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
efferent
Is the aorta an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
Afferent means going towards; efferent means going away from. In reference to the heart, all veins, including the inferior and superior vena cavae, are afferent. All arteries are efferent.
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
What is the fiber type in the dorsal root?
efferent (motor) I'm guessing it's choice B in your packet?
