What n are the fibers that tell your brain what's happening in the rest of your body?
Neurons transmit messages to and from the brain.
What tissue sends messages from brain to body?
Nerve cells called neurons sends messages from brain to body along fibers called axons.
Postganglionic fibers that innervate targets in the body wall or thoracic cavity originate on neurons within?
sympathetic chain ganglia
What part in the human body receives nerve impulses from the central nervous system that causes muscle fibers to contract?
Motor Neurons.
What are neurons in body?
Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.
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 the three types of neurons in the human body?
The three main types of neurons are sensory, motor, and interneurons.
What are in neurons?
Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.
What are afferent and efferent neurons and inter neurons?
These neurons are classified by the direction in which they send their messages. Afferent neurons are typically sensory neurons--neurons which send information to the brain and spine. They send information about the body and immediate environment. Efferent neurons are typically motor neurons, sending information from the brain and spine to the rest of the body. They allow the main control system a way to act on the body. Another way to distinguish these two is to think of afferent nerves as 'approaching' the brain (A) and efferent nerves as 'exiting' the brain (E). Interneurons are relay neurons and their signals, connecting efferent and afferent neurons in network. They can link up the same types or different types of neurons, meaning connecting sensory neurons together, motor neurons together, or the different types together. The simplest example of these three types working in unison is a reflex arc (which is what is activated when you hurt yourself, like stepping on a pin or burning your hand). The sensory/afferent neuron detects pain and signals the interneuron. Simultaneously, the interneuron sends a signal to your efferent/motor neurons to retract your hand/leg/whatever, while also sending a message to the brain. This is why you pull back before you feel pain :).
What group of fibers spreads impulses at up to 2 meters per second?
The group of fibres that spread impulses throughout the body are called nerves or neurons. They are a specific type of cells which can undergo electrical stimulation to conduct impulses.
What are dendrites?
Thin fibers that branch out from the cell body of a nerve.They bring info to cell body and receive nervous signals from other neurons through connections called synapses.See link below:.
Axons and dendrites?
Axons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the neuron cell body. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive incoming signals from axons of other neurons. Together, axons and dendrites play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the nervous system.
