What is the only thing complete within the CNS from the reflex arc?
only the Interneuron
What are the three types of neuron?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
What is a neuron connecting sensory and motor neurons?
Associated Neurons a.k.a Interneurons, lie between motor and sensory neurons in neutral pathways where intergeneration occurs. Most interneurons are confined within the CNS.
Where in the body would you find interneurons?
lies between sensory neurons and motor neurons, and some take messages from one side of the sponal cord to the other or from the brain to the cord, and vice versa
What type of neuron is found completely within the central nervous system?
motor neuron
What are 3 types of neurons?
Sensory neurons: Transmit sensory information from the body to the brain. Motor neurons: Control muscles and glands, enabling movement and bodily functions. Interneurons: Process information within the central nervous system, facilitating communication between sensory and motor neurons.
What are the parts of neurological system?
This answer can be as complex as the brain itself. Books are written about it. BUT the basics are: The central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord and the PNS involves the nerves that come and go from the CNS. The base units are the cells called neruons. There are three main types: sensory neurons (incoming info) and motor neuron (out going info or action) and a go-between) called an interneuron.
What kind of reflex requires an interneuron?
polysynaptic
Which component of a reflex arc is located entirely within the central nervous system?
Many authors refer to the CNS portion of the reflex arc as the integration center.In regards to a monosynaptic reflex arc, the synapse is the only portion of the integration center.Polysynaptic reflex arcs, have multiple synapses and interneuron(s).
What is another word for interneuron neuron?
Association neurons
What is the sequence of a typical reflex arc?
1. The receptor reacts to a stimulus. 2. The sensory neuron conducts the afferent impulses to the CNS. 3. The integration center consists of one or more synapses in the CNS. 4. The motor neuron conducts the efferent impulses from the integration center to an effector. 5. The effector, muscle fibers or glands, respond to the efferent impulses by contraction or secretion a product, respectively.
What neuron comes between the sensory and motor neuron?
Essentially, it is the interneuron. The body has numerous sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are stimulated an send their signal to the central nervous system and synapse or connect with an interneuron which is the processing center. The interneuron then synapses or connects with the motor neuron which sends a message/instruction by way of the motor neuron to skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, or glands. This is true, but to add more information, the Interneuron is also known as "relay neuron", "association neuron" or "local circuit neuron".Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron
