A neuron that is excited to subthreshold is said to be?
It has become activated/stimulated.
When a sensory neuron is excited by some energy the resulting graded potential is called?
Receptor potential or generator potential.
When a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy the resulting graded potential is called?
receptor or generator potential
When a sensory neuron is excited by some of energy the resulting graded potential is called?
Receptor potential or generator potential.
What is the difference between nerve and neuron?
A neuron is an individual cell in the PNS or CNS that can be excited and conduct impulses along its axon. A nerve is a bundle of multiple neuron fibers that each are carrying their own signals. They are protected by connective tissue. Eventually the neuron fibers diverge away from the nerve to reach their destination.
Why does muscles have a refractory period?
it the period when an action potential cannot be elicited in an excitable cell(neuron,muscle cell etc.) after it has been excited.
Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
Specialized cell that makes up the nervous system?
The cells that makes up the nervous system is the Inter-neuron (circuit neuron), sensory neuron and motor neuron.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
Define relay neuron?
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
What is the 3 types of neuron?
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
