Three differences between sensory neurone and motor neurone?
# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.
The longest part of a motor neuron is likely to be the?
A motor neurone connects the central nervous system (CNS) with an effector, which is to say either a muscle or a gland. The length of the neurone depends on the size of the animal. In a human, some of the longest neurones extend from the base of the spine to the foot. The longest must be in the largest animals. Think of a giraffe. Not to mention a blue whale!
What is the nerve that connects the brain to the skin?
its the sensory neurone ... silly ;D
What is the main function if the nerve cells?
A neurone is a collection of specialized cells, along with supporting cells (oligodendrocytes), that convey or carry an electrical impulse to or away from the central nervous system.
What is an afferent neuron?
Afferent neurons are those that transmit signals from sensory transducers to the central nervous system (i.e., the spinal cord and the brain). The complementary group of neurons are the efferent neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to effectors, that generate a response to the environmental input.
What is the name of the neurone that carries impulses to the central nervous system?
A sensory neurone.
What is the name of the nerve cell between the receptor cell and the central nervous system?
SENSORY NEURONE
What do you call the neurone that connects the sensory and motor neurone together?
Interneurone or relay neurone
What is acetylcholen?
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an exitatory neurotransmitter. This means it is released from the synapse of the neurone and promotes the continuation of the AP in the next neurone instead of inhibiting it. ACh is part of the peripheral nervous system and is not very prominent in the central nervous system.
How does information travel along the axon of a sensory neurone?
the receptor detects the stimulus and the sensor neurone sends it to the CNS (central nervous system
What is the path that nervous impulse takes through the nervous system?
sensory neurone --> enters spinal cord --> relay neurone --> brain(is not a reflex action) or motor neurone(if action is reflex)
How does the passage of a touch signal pass from skin to the cerebral cortex?
Pressure receptors in the skin pick up the stimulus. It passes along a sensory neurone to the central nervous system. Within the CNS it is transferred to the cerebral contex via an association neurone, relay neurone.

What is a motor neuron?
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
What is the basic cell of the nervous system?
Neurone or nerve cell

its the sensory neurone ... silly ;D
