Neurons come in many sizes. For example, a single sensory neuron from your fingertip has an axon that extends the length of your arm, while neurons within the brain may extend only a few millimeters. Neurons have different shapes depending on what they do. Motor neurons that control muscle contractions have a cell body on one end, a long axon in the middle and dendrites on the other end; sensory neurons have dendrites on both ends, connected by a long axon with a cell body in the middle.

What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
What is the function of a gamma motor neuron?
It is a ray of radiation. conducts muscle movement.
What is the motor neuron ending?
axion terminals
When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a motor neuron?
It fulfills its prime function - it turns that muscle ON - for a duration.
What is descending tract and one ascending tract in upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron?
central nervous system (CNS) is the descending tract and one ascending tract in upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron.
What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
In humans one function of an interneuron is to relay impulses directly from?
a sensory neuron to a motor neuron
What is the function of a relay neron?
transmission of nerve impulses from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron,located in the central nervous system.
What is the function of a gamma motor neuron?
It is a ray of radiation. conducts muscle movement.
What are the function of motor neuron?
The function is to catch/take impulses from the central nervous system and send it to muscles and glands
Dendrites function in the motor neuron?
To carry the nerve impulse from the CNS to the cell body
What is the function motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
Is motor a neuron?
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
How are motor and sensory neurons categorized?
Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
What is the motor neuron ending?
axion terminals
What is a motor neuron attached to?
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a motor neuron?
It fulfills its prime function - it turns that muscle ON - for a duration.
