What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?

Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.


What is the difference between motor and sensory neurons?

The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.


An impulse reaches the CNS from the PNS via the?

An impulse reaches the central nervous system (CNS) from the peripheral nervous system (PNS) through neurons. Sensory neurons in the PNS transmit signals to interneurons in the CNS, which then relay the information to motor neurons to generate a response.


Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?

There is no specific type of neuron that transmits impulses directly from a motor neuron to a sensory neuron. Motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, while sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system for processing. Communication between motor and sensory pathways typically involves interneurons within the central nervous system.


What are the three types of neurone involved in a reflex action?

The three types of neurons are sensory(afferant) neurons, interneurons, and motor(efferant) neurons. Sensory, or afferent, neurons send information from the receptor to the central nervouse system. Interneurons, found only in the central nervous system, play the role of interpretting the impulse. The motor, or efferent, neurons send the information from the central nervous system to the effector. Receptor->sensory neuron->interneuron->motor neuron->effector.

Which of the following types of neurons carries impulses away from the CNS?

They are called as motor neurons. They are same like sensory neurons. Only difference the direction of the nerve impulse. The nerve impulse travel from dendrites to body to axon to axon terminals.


What connects the motor neurons to the sensory neurons?

What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.


What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?

These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).


How are olfactory neurons classified structurally?

Neurons are classified by the direction they move.


What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?

Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.


What is the name of a neuron that transmits a neural impulse from the central nervous system through the spinal cord to a muscle?

The neuron that transmits a signal from the nervous system to an effector is a motor neuron.


What is the criteria used to functionally classify neurons?

Neurons are functionally classified based on their structure, neurotransmitter type, and the direction of signal transmission. Structural classifications include multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar neurons, while neurotransmitter types can be excitatory or inhibitory. Direction of signal transmission can be sensory (afferent), motor (efferent), or interneurons.


Which criteria is used to functionally classify neurons?

Neurons can be functionally classified based on the direction in which they transmit signals: sensory neurons carry signals from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord, motor neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands, and interneurons act as connectors and process information within the central nervous system.


What is the path of a nerve impulse from your leg to your brain and back to your leg?

A nerve impulse travels from your leg to your brain through sensory neurons. Once in the brain, the impulse is processed, and a response is generated. The response travels back to your leg through motor neurons to initiate movement or action.


What is the difference between motor and sensory neurons?

The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.

Nerve messages from motor nerve cells control the actions of muscles?

Yes. Sensory neurons sense a change in the stimulus and alert the interneurons located in the brain which send an impulse to the motor neurons to make the muscle contract.
