The brain is the control, and the whole reaction of a reflex arc starts with a stimulus, ie, touching a hot flame, the detector of this stimulus being the receptor. The electrical impulses travel through the sensory neuron to which it is then carried to the synapse (impulses reach the brain) the energy is then transferred across the synapse, to the relay neuron and then to the motor neuron, finally reaching the effector, (mainly muscle or gland) to move away the body part.

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.
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
What is the message a neuron carries?
nerve impulses
Part of a neuron that transmits nerve impulses toward the central nervous system?
Afferent neurons do this. Efferent do the opposite. It does not matter which system the neurons belong to i.e. Automonic vs. sympathetic. This is a general definition of the direction which nerve impulses are conducting. Afferent nerves are more commonly but less accurately known as sensory nerves.
Three kinds of neurons?
1.sensory neuron- carry impulses from the sensory receptors to the Central Nervous System 2.motor neurons- carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to the muscles and glans 3.association neuron- relay impulses netween sensory and motor neurons -------------------- AD go to bookden.webs.com .. a website for booklovers.. thx
What Neuron moves impulses from the brain?
I believe its motor nerve cells
What part of the nervous system does sensory neuron carry impulses?
brain or spinal cord
Which type of neuron carries impulses from sense organs to the spinal cord or brain?
sensory neuron
How do impulses move in response to a stimulus?
to the brain, then to the effector through the motor neuron
What are neurons that carry impulses towards the spinal cord and brain?
An Efferent Neuron.
What neuron carries impulses to the spinal cord and the brain?
Afferent neurons (sensory)
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Why is an efferent neuron multipolar?
Efferent neuron is a neuron that regulate the action of a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. It is a neuron which produces impulses outward from the brain or spinal cord, so its consider a multi-polar neuron.
What part in the nervous system moves?
Its the impulses sended from neuron to neuron via synapses... it can travel within a fraction of second which helps us to escape from dangers rapidly...
What part of the neuron would be responsible for notifying the brain that you had hurt yourself?
The Axon is the neuron that is responsible for notifying the brain a person had hurt themselves. The axon is the cell that allows impulses to travel along it.
