The other name for the sensory nerve is sensory neuron. These are nerve cells that transmit sight, sound, and feelings.
afferent nerve endings?
You have a nerve that carry the impulses from inner ear to brain. It is sensory nerve. It is the 8th nerve. It is called as vestibulocochlear nerve.
Olfactory nerve, optic nerve, facial nerve, glossopharyngeal . . . .I'm confused here
SENSORY NEURONE
An alternative conclusion.
Cranial nerve V. is the trigeminal nerve. It got its name after its three branches. Two of the branches are pure sensory, the third is mixed motor and sensory. In short, it gathers sensory information from the scalp, eyelids, eyes (from the cornea and conjuntiva, NOT visual information), nose, cheeks, lips, teeth, gums, oral cavity and jaw. The motor fibers innervate muscles involved in chewing and swallowing.
Neurons. There are 3 main types: Sensory neuron. Relay neuron and... Motor neuron. I hope this answered your question!
In the cochlear (organ responsible for hearing) and the vestibular apparatus (organ responsible for balance-sense) the sensory neuron is called a 'hair-cell'. Its name is related to the appearance of the cell, which contains hair like projections on the apical surface called 'stereocilia'.
The primary gustatory cortex. Special sensory information for taste reaches the gustatory cortex via the chorda tympani and greater petrosal branch of the facial nerve, the lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, and the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve. The special sensory information for taste originates in taste buds located on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, pharynx, and the upper part of the esophagus.
Interneurons
Hello, my name is Cynthia and I have been treated with Occipital nerve Blocks for over a year now. The worst side effect I can think of is having the yellow betedine on my neck the next day. It's difficult to wash off. I have no pain...maybe a little soreness but mostly great relief from the tremendous pain I suffer with on a daily basis. I also have Botox type "B" injections, but they make me sick the day after...flu feeling.
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
