they don't have a difference
Unless you are talking about the direction of their signal. Afferent is taking information toward the central nervous system while efferent is taking information away from the central nervous system.
What else can I help you with?
What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?
The type of neuron that is also known as an interneuron is the associative neuron. Interneurons are responsible for transmitting signals between sensory neurons (afferent neurons) and motor neurons (efferent neurons) in the central nervous system.
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for an efferent neuron is a motor neuron. These neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other effector organs in the body, enabling them to respond to stimuli.
Are efferent neurons bipolar?
Yes.
What neurons carry impulses away from the spinal cord and the brain?
the sensory neurons
Functional difference between a motor and a relay neuron?
A motor neuron is responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands to stimulate movement or secretion. A relay neuron, also known as an interneuron, acts as a bridge between sensory and motor neurons, facilitating communication between them within the central nervous system. Essentially, motor neurons are involved in output or response, while relay neurons help process and integrate information.
Is the efferent neuron the primary function connecting other neurons?
Efferent neurons are responsible for carrying signals away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands. They are involved in transmitting motor commands from the brain to the muscles to produce movement, rather than acting as the primary connector between other neurons.
Are Efferent neurons are the most abundant type of neuron?
Efferent neurons are not the most abundant type of neuron, as interneurons make up the majority of neurons in the central nervous system. Efferent neurons, also known as motor neurons, transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands to elicit a response.
What neurons receive messages about what is happening inside and outside the body?
efferent and afferent neurons
Neurons are categorized by?
Structure Unipolar Bipolar Multipolar AND FUNCTION sensory or afferent neurons Motor or efferent neurons
Neurons that conduct impulses away from the CNS to muscle and glands?
Efferent neuron
What neuron connects an afferent neuron to an efferent neuron?
The interneuron acts as a connector between afferent and efferent neurons in the central nervous system. It integrates and processes incoming sensory information before transmitting signals to the efferent neuron to produce a response.
What neurons carrry impulses from the brain or spinal cord out to the other organs and please answer?
Motor or efferent neurons.
