A somatic system
the somatic nervous system
sensory neurons and motor neurons
The peripheral nervous system comprises the sensory and motor neurons.
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is called the ventral root. There's also the axons of motor neurons and axons of sensory neurons.
Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary movement or secretion. On the other hand, sensory neurons detect information from the external environment or the body and transmit it to the central nervous system, enabling us to perceive sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, pain, or sound. In summary, motor neurons control movement and actions, while sensory neurons provide information about the external world to the brain.
Yes, the PNS ganglia contains unipolar sensory neurons.
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
Sensory and Motor neurons
The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
Neurons that receive info & send impulses to brian or spinal cord.
