Which structure carries sensory information?
the dorsal horn is involved in sensory functions
What carries information to the brain to be interpreted?
Sensory Neurones
Smell is the only sensory input that does not pass through the what in the diencephalon to reach its destination in the cerebral cortex?
cerebellum
What is the difference between the auditory nerve and optic nerve?
Auditory nerve is eighth cranial nerve. It is called as vestibulocochlear nerve. It is the nerve to meant for hearing and balancing your body. The optic nerve is second cranial nerve. It carries sensory signals from your eye to the brain. It arises from the retina of the eye.
The only two cranial nerves that are completely sensory are numbers?
I and II
Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).
The largest portion of the diencephalon-the thalamus- contains?
Relay and processing centers for sensory information.
Which cranial nerve has 3 branches?
The twelve cranial nerves can be can one of the following types:* Sensory = carry sensory innervation/information to and from certain organs * Motor = carry motor (movement) innervation to certain organs * Mixed/Both = carries both sensory and motor innervation
Which structure carries sensory information?
the dorsal horn is involved in sensory functions
Sensory input that does not pass through ------- in diencephalon?
cerebellum
What region of the diencephalon filters and refines sensory information allowing us to direct your attention to specific external stimuli?
The thalamus
What neuron carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
A sensory neuron carries stimuli from central nervous system to the effector. true or false?
A sensory neuron ALWAYS carries information into the CNS. A MOTOR neuron ALWAYS carries information from the CNS to MUSCLES and other effectors. Sensory in, motor out.
Are cranial nerves motor or sensory?
sensory nerve
What two cranial nerves carry sensory information about blood pressure to the brain?
glossopharyngeal, vagus
What carries information to the brain to be interpreted?
Sensory Neurones
What type of neuron carries information to the CNS?
Afferent neurons carry information to the CNS, and efferent neuron carries it away.
