Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:Motor Nerves
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.
Why is the central nervous system is called the central center of your body?
I think You mean command/control center. Central nervous system = brain and spinal cord Well it's called this because nerve impulses from the peripheral nerves travel to the spinal cord and then brain where they are interpreted. The brain controls all operations of the body. Thus central control
What are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord?
The peripheral nervous system contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain.They communicate with the central nervous system to make sure our body parts, such as our fingers, can send signals to the central nervous system for processing in our brains.
What is the sensory do in your nervous system?
Sensory nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. This is also called the PNS for short. Sensory nerves work in conjuction with the senses, to receive and transmit signals and impulses from the sensory organs.
The stigmatic nervous system contains nerves that run from the central nervous system to the?
Somatic Nervous System. The somatic nervous system consists of both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerves [1]. It is also responsible for the reflex arc, which involves the use of interneurons to perform reflexive actions. The somatic nervous system, also called the somatomotor or somatic efferent nervous system, supplies motor impulses to the skeletal muscles. Because these nerves permit conscious control of the skeletal muscles, it is sometimes called the voluntary nervous system.
What is a bundle of parallel neurons in the central nervous system called?
A bundle of neurons that are parallel are called nerves
What is a neroun that carries impulses away from the central nervous system to the body parts that react?
They are called as motor neurons.
What are the major components of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system?
CNS = central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)PNS = peripheral nervous system (that part of the nervous system that extends outside the central nervous system)
What are nerves?
nerves are also called neurons and they transport impulses(messages)
compare the central and the peripheral nervous system?
The Central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.The brain is the control center for all activities in the body.It is made of billions of neurons. The spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons.Sensory neurons send impulse to the brain.All the nerves outside CNS ( Central Nervous System) that connects the brain and spinal cord to other body parts are part of the Peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system includes 12 pairs of nerves from your brain called cranial nerves, and 31 pairs of nerves from your spinal cord called Spinal nerves.
What neuron carries impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle?
not sure , but i think they are called motor neurons and they are part of the PNS system
