What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.
What are two types of conduction in a neuron?
afferent and efferent Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain) Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?
Efferent
Does a efferent neuron convey information away from the hippocampus?
Technically efferent neurons carry information AWAY from anything, afferent neurons carry information TOWARD something. So the hippocampus may have efferent information going to other parts of the brain (limbic structures, frontal lobe structures, etc). Most often efferent information refers to motor output in or to the peripheral nervous system.
Is the efferent tract the major ascending tract?
YES
What vessels give rise to peritubular capillaries?
efferent arteriole
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.
Is the vena cava an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
efferent
Is the aorta an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
Afferent means going towards; efferent means going away from. In reference to the heart, all veins, including the inferior and superior vena cavae, are afferent. All arteries are efferent.
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
What is the fiber type in the dorsal root?
efferent (motor) I'm guessing it's choice B in your packet?
Is a blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
efferent
What is efferent nerves?
efferent signals are those sent out from your CNS instructing some part of your body to act a certain way.
Neurons that conduct impulses away from the CNS to muscle and glands?
Efferent neuron
What is the difference between afferent and efferent arteries?
Efferent arteries take blood away from an organ and afferent arteries bring blood to an organ.
Does the efferent system sends information from the brain to spinal cord throughout the body?
You are correct; efferent neurons carry impulses from your brain to/and spinal cord throughout the body. Efferent nerves, otherwise known as motor or effector neurons, carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors (such as muscles or glands and also the ciliated cells of the inner ear).The term 'efferent' can also be used in more localized locations (though still in the nervous system). For example, a neuron's efferent synapse provides input to another neuron, and not vice-versa. Vice-versa would be afferent. (see below)The opposite of efferent neurons are afferent, which are neurons that carry impulses from the body back to the brain. An easy mnemonic: Efferent connections Exit. Afferent connections Arrive.Hope this helps!
What is efferent stance?
An efferent stance is when someone read to remember information. Teacher sometimes gives students assignment to read and remember specific information from the story. Forcing students to remember something is an efferent stance.
