Another name for nerve cell?
Nerve cells are called neurons.
When classified according to structure all neurons are?
Afferent neurons
Are all the efferent neurons motor all the afferent neurons sensory and all the CNS neurons inter neurons?
Not all efferent neurons are motor; some can be autonomic (meaning they control involuntary functions). Similarly, not all afferent neurons are sensory; some can be visceral (relaying information from internal organs). CNS neurons can include interneurons that integrate and transmit signals between sensory and motor neurons, but not all CNS neurons are interneurons, as there are also sensory and motor neurons found within the CNS.
What is another name for receptors?
Neurons
Which nervous system contains all the sensory neurons and all the voluntary motor neurons?
A somatic system
What is the majority of all afferent pathways pass through and synapse with neurons?
The motor neuron is the final common pathway for all neurons to travel to complete their synapse. Afferent neurons or unipolar neurons all pass through the cord and brain on this journey.
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for an efferent neuron is a motor neuron. These neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other effector organs in the body, enabling them to respond to stimuli.
What are cortical pyramidal neurons?
They are neurons that can be found in all six of cortical layers (except layer 1), and they are excitatory projection neurons.
What is another name for receptor cells?
Neurons
What do all three types of neuron have in common?
All three types of neurons (sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons) have a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. They are all involved in transmitting signals within the nervous system, with sensory neurons responsible for conveying sensory information to the brain, motor neurons for transmitting signals from the brain to muscles and glands, and interneurons for connecting other neurons within the central nervous system.
What is the scientific name of nerves?
The scientific name for nerves is "neurons." Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the body in the form of electrical signals.
What is the name of the junction between the neurons?
synapases
