In what direction is information carried along the sensory neuron?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
It is an accending tract carring information up to the brain until they reach the cerebral cortex. By large the specific pathways cross to the side of cnetral nervous system that is opposite to the location of their sensory receptors.

If you are having a reflex for example the message will go to the spine so that the message can be sent back quickly. An example of this is when you put your hand on a hot stove and you quickly pull your hand back. That information is just so you know it doesn't necessarily always have to go to the brain.

What structure contains the cell body (soma) of a sensory nerve receiving sensory information from the skin?
A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon. The sensory nerve cells receiving information from the skin are pseudounipolar cells having two axon. One axon extends centrally towards the spinal cord and the other axon extends towards the skin. The soma of these nerve cells having neurofilaments of specialized proteins receive sensory information through electric and chemical signals called neurotransmitters.A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon.

What are the sequence of events that occur within the nervous system from the point you touched the hot stove with your hand to the point you jerked your hand away from the stove?
1. Sensory Receptors detect danger(eg. hot stove in this case) 2. Signal is sent through a sensory neuron to the spinal cord 3.Interneuron in the spinal cord relays the message to the motor neuron 4.Motor neuron sends a message to the effector(eg. muscle) 5. Hand jerks away Sensory neuron also sends a sinal to the brain. Sensation of the evernt is detected continuosly but usually after the defensive action has been taken.
The part of the neuron which collects and combines information is called the?
soma
What happens if one of your leg motor neuron stop functioning?
The leg wouldn't be able to receive or transmit impulses and information from the central nerves system CNS to the muscle and glands
What is the all or nothing response of local response?
It's just a way of saying that a neuron (or sensory cell) can either (only) respond or not respond (depending on the strength of the stimuli). Which is why your nervous system is said to be pulse modulated rather than amplitude modulated. OR A strong stimuli results in more pulses, not stronger pulses.
Which neuron receives information?
actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.
A sensory neuron carries stimuli from central nervous system to the effector. true or false?
A sensory neuron ALWAYS carries information into the CNS. A MOTOR neuron ALWAYS carries information from the CNS to MUSCLES and other effectors. Sensory in, motor out.
What is a sensory neurones?
A sensory neuron is one that brings information about environmental simuli to the brain. It may also be called an afferent neuron.
What type of neuron carries information to the CNS?
Afferent neurons carry information to the CNS, and efferent neuron carries it away.
What is the term for the neuron that transmits sensory information into the nervous system?
love
What is the flow of information in a spinal reflex arc in the correct order?
The reflex arc includes the sensory neuron (sensory intake) to the motor neuron (motor response). This two neuron arc is the fastest. Many times an interneuron at the level of the spinal cord is involved. It passes information to the brain more slowly. It is like an "incident report".
How are motor and sensory neurons categorized?
Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
What neurons receive information from sensory organs?
Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
What is the sensory neuron function?
Sensory information is transmitted by the sensory neurons. They are nerve cells that convey data to spinal cord and brain.
What characteristic does spinocerebellar tract neuron share with a sensory neuron originating in quadricep femoris?
Both neurons carry afferent information.
What polysynaptic reflexes have a neuron?
sensory neuron
