Beyond being involved in the taste of food, sensory neurons do not have much of a role in breaking down food. The teeth do the grinding and the stomach is where most of the mixing takes place.

What is the relationship between a stimulus and a nerve impulse?
The neuron is the functional portion of the central nervous system, carrying impulses to the designated location. Neurons also have the role of interpreting an impulse, and waiting for a response. Neurons fall under the category of sensory neurons, interneurons and motor neurons.
Is an inter neuron the same as an association neuron?
Yes, an interneuron and an association neuron refer to the same type of neuron. Interneurons are responsible for transmitting information between sensory neurons and motor neurons, or between other interneurons in the central nervous system. They play a crucial role in integrating and processing information within the 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.
What is the role of the neuron?
Neurons are like they brains messengers. The brain figures out what needs to be done and the neurons tell they body to do it.

What is the role of the neurons in transmitting electrochemical impulses?
They send the chemical impulses that are released at the synapses from the synaptic terminal of the axon of the first neuron. It merges from the dendrites to the second neuron.

What plays a critical role as a functional junction between neurons?
SYNAPSE
What is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons?
Sodium
What is the structure of a neuron and its role in the brain?
A neuron has dendrites (as inputs), a cell body (soma), and an output (axon).The neuron is the functional unit of the brain: neurons receive sensory information, process that information, store it, and convey commands to muscles and glands based on that information and its processing.
Which brain structure plays a key role in sensory integration?
The thalamus plays a key role in sensory integration by relaying sensory information from various parts of the body to the cerebral cortex. It filters and directs this information to the appropriate areas of the brain for further processing.
