What carries impulses from the skin to the central nervous system?

∙ 11y ago
A pseudo-unipolar neuron referred to as an afferent neuron carries a sensory impulse to the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system.
A pseudo-unipolar neuron has one axon which comes from the cell body (soma) and then splits into two branches, the peripheral axonal branch which carries the impulse from the skin, and the central axonal branch which carries the impulse to the spinal cord; it has no dendrites, which distinguishes it from a bipolar neuron.
The impulse moves along the peripheral branch and then to the central branch, skipping the soma.

Does the sensory afferent division conveys impulses away from the central nervous system?
No ,it carries impulses towards CNS .
What are the functions of the two divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
What fiber transmits impulses to the central nervous system?
The nerve fiber.
A collection of nerve fibers through which impulses travel between the central nervous system and other parts of the body?
nervous system
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the effectors.
Which part of the nervous system carries impulses between the body and the central?
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses between the spinal cord and other body parts.
Does the sensory afferent division conveys impulses away from the central nervous system?
No ,it carries impulses towards CNS .
What is the name of the neurone that carries impulses to the central nervous system?
A sensory neurone.
Which system is associated with transmission of impulse to the muscles?
The Central nervous systme sends impulses to the peripheral nervous system which in turn carries signals to the muscles.
What part of the nervous system has the responsibility for issuing nerve impulses and analyzing sensory data?
The answer is the central send impulses and the brain and spinal chord are used in this application.
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 functions of the two divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
Neurons that carry messages within the nervous system?
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system to communicate messages. They communicate through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, enabling the transmission of information across the brain and body.
What neuron carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
Carries impulses between spinal cord and body parts?
CENTRAL
The part of the peripheral nervous system that carries the sensory information to the CNS is designated?
The afferent division of the PNS carries impulses inward to a central organ or section, as nerves that conduct impulses from the periphery of the body to the brain or spinal cord
