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.
Where are somatic neurons located?
in the CNS
What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
Are all the efferent neurons motor all the afferent neurons sensory and all the CNS neurons inter neurons?
Yes. However, it is better put that most of the interneurons are found in the part of the CNS called the spinal cord.
Where are somatic motor neurons located?
in the CNS
Where do neurons meet?
they meet in the cns or relay naurone
What are collections of neurons?
nuclei in the CNS, ganglia in the PNS
What are the most numerous types of neurons in the CNS?
Interneurons
Are neurons in the CNS organized into functional groups?
Yes.
What do PNS motor neurons do?
These neurons connect the CNS to various muscles and glands throughout the body.
When a group of neurons that carry impulses from the CNS to effectors are clustered together they are called what?
Motor neurons.
Where are Multipolar neurons found?
Unipolar neurons are found in ganglion outside the CNS.
