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.
What is the function of the optic nerve?
As with all nerves in the human body, the optic nerve transmits information. In this case, the optic nerve specifically transmits information from the retina of the eye to the brain for analysis and integration, resulting in the perception of "sight."
How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?
The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.
What cortex does the frontal lobe analyzes sensory information carried by nerve impulses from the tongue and taste receptors?
Gustatory
Transmits sensory impulses from pressure receptors of the carotid artery?
Glossopharyngeal cranial nerve
Which carnial nerves are purely sensory?
Actually, there are three cranial nerves that are completely sensory: Olfactory nerve, Optic nerve and the Vestibulocohlear nerve. The Optic nerve is responsible for sensory information for vision, the Olfactory nerve is responsible for sensory information coming from the nose and the Vestibulocohlear (the craziest word to spell) involves sensory information for hearing (get it?- cohlear, ear) and equilibrium.
What is the sensory receptor in the eyes What is the sensory receptor in the nose What is the sensory receptors in the tongue What is the sensory receptors in the skin?
the sensory receptors for the eyes are the cornea and the optic nerve
Difference between sensory and motor nerve?
Sensory neurons have their cell bodies in the dorsal ganglion at the one or two segemental levels from the dendrite entry. They make a synapse onto interneurons in spinal cord. Motor neurons have their cell bodies in the spinal cord.
Which cranial nerve transmits hearing and equilibrium information to the brain?
vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
What kind os sensory information does the skin take in?
The skin takes in information through the sensory receptors. Sensory receptors that are located within the skin are known as nerve endings. Nerve endings take in sensory information related to touch.
The component of the human nervous system that brings sensory information to the brain and transmits commands from it is called the?
Partly the Cranial nerve and partly the spinal chord. also known as the peripheral nervous system
What is the Trigeminal branch to the tongue?
None actually go to the tongue... Trigeminal nerve - (V) fifth cranial nerve V1: Ophtalmic-eye, forehead and nose.1-Sensory V2: Maxillary - upper teeth, gums and lip, the cheek, lower eyelid and the side of the nose.1-Sensory V3: Mandibular - lower teeth, lower gums and lower lip.1-Sensory - Jaw.2-Motor 1SENSORY: Transmits pressure, touch, pain and temperature signals to the brain. 2MOTOR: Controls movement. http://www.tnaaustralia.org.au
