What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
Impulses are carried away from the brain and spinal cord by the?
afferent
Neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord?
Afferent
What is the difference between afferent and efferent pathways?
The major difference is the direction of travel for nerve impulses. In the afferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling away from the brain - these tend to be motor impulses. In the efferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling towards the brain - these tend to be sensory impulses.
What neuron carries impulses to the spinal cord and the brain?
Afferent neurons (sensory)
What is the function of spinal nerves- afferent?
They carry nerve impulses from your sensory organs, like your eyes, to your brain, or your central nervous system (CNS). When your eyes see something shiny on the ground, your afferent nerves tell your brain what your eyes see. In contrast, efferent nerves carry nerve impulses from your brain to parts of your body. So, when you see something shiny on the ground, your brain tells you to pick it up and look at it. Efferent = "Exiting", the nerves impulses are exiting your brain. Afferent = the opposite
Is the hypothalamus is the area where afferent impulses from all senses and all parts of the body are sorted out and relayed to the appropriate area of the sensory cortex?
No, the hypothalamus is a region of the brain responsible for regulating various physiological processes such as temperature, hunger, and thirst. Afferent impulses from all senses and body parts are primarily sorted and relayed in the thalamus before being transmitted to the appropriate area of the sensory cortex.
What encloses the third ventricle of the brain and acts as a switch board for afferent impulses?
Thalamus
What carries impulses through the spinal cord and brain to other organs?
Afferent nerves
What part of the brain routes nerve impulses from your senses?
Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the: Thalamus-
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.
