What type of neuron that sends information from sensory receptors toward the central nervous system?
Central nervous system....
What is the functional unit of the nervous system?
The nervous system gathers information from the external environment, stores and processes it, and initiates the appropriate responses.__________________________________excuse me, i think he / she wasn't asking about what the nervous system is but what isThe functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron.
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
Basic functioning unit of the central nervous system?
The neuron
What is a neuron that carries stimuli from the sense organ to the central nervous system?
sensory neuron..
What is Efferent Neurons?
A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.
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.
How does information get from receptors to the central nervous system?
The information gets from the receptors to the central nervous system by traveling from one neuron to another through a process in which neurotransmitters are released at synapsis between the neurons.
What is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?
motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body.Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.Motor areas control your muscle during movement.andA sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits direction to muscles and organs from the central nervous system to perform some function. The motor neurones cell body is located in the central nervous system and has a long axon (longest in body is around 1m) This is how these two are different.hop
What is the neuron that conducts impulses away from the central nervous system to muscles only?
That is referred to as a motor neuron.
What type of neuron is found completely within the central nervous system?
motor neuron
Why is it called the functional unit of the nervous system?
A neuron. ^ he is asking why, not what ^it's (neuron) called so, because the nervous system is composed mainly of the brain, spinal cord and nerves (neurons). since most of the nervous system is made of neurons, they are called the structural unit of NS, meaning that the NS is composed of these neurons.
