What nueron conducts impulses faster?
Myelinated neurons conduct impulses faster than unmyelinated neurons.
What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Neurons transmit nerve impulses/ electric impulses throughout the body.
What conducts impulses toward the cell body?
Dendrites conduct impulses toward the cell body, having synapsed with the axons of other neurons.
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What are Neurons that conduct impulses to the cardiac muscles?
Motor neurons are the neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glandular epithelial tissue. These types of nerves are what make up the Autonomic nervous system, which regulates the bodies involuntary functions.
What type of nuerons conduct nerve impulses along an efferent pathway?
Motor neurons
What is the function of the dendrites and axon?
A very basic explanation would say that axons are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses ("messages") away from the cell body, and that dendrites are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body.
Do action potential transmission is faster in myelinated neurons?
TRUE. Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.
What is the similarities of neurons and motor neurons?
Functionally, neurons come in three varieties; motor neurons, sensory neurons and interneurons. Motor neurons conduct motor impulses from the CNS to the muscles. Sensory neurons conduct motor impulses from the rest of the body to the CNS. Interneurons connect the sensory to the motor so we can respond to incoming sensory stimuli.
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.
What is the difference between neurons and neuroglia?
Neurons conduct electrical impulses in the brain. Neuroglia are cells that support the neurons. These cells undergo mitosis where neurons do not. Brain tumors are formed from neuroglia cells because they mitosis.
The autonomic nervous system consists of neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to what in the body?
smooth muscle
