Nerve cell called sensory neurons. An axon also known as a nerve fiber is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.If the fibres which are the branched projections attach to the cell body of nerve cell are dendrites
What else can I help you with?
What are sensory and motor nervers called?
Sensory nerves are called afferent nerves, and motor nerves are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, while efferent nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to initiate a response.
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.
What type of nerves are spinal nerves Are they Afferent Efferent or Mixed?
Spinal nerves are mixed nerves, meaning they contain both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerve fibers. This allows them to transmit both sensory information from the body to the central nervous system and motor commands from the central nervous system to the body.
What type of nerve sends messages from sense organs to the brain?
Sensory nerves, also known as afferent nerves, transmit messages from sense organs to the brain. These nerves are responsible for carrying information about sensations such as touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception to the central nervous system for processing.
What are the nerves that gather information from the environment and carry it to the CNS?
The sensory nerves gather information from the environment and carry it to the central nervous system. These nerves include the cranial nerves and spinal nerves, which transmit signals such as touch, pain, temperature, and pressure to the brain and spinal cord for processing.
Afferent nerves are called WHAT?
Sensory
What are sensory and motor nervers called?
Sensory nerves are called afferent nerves, and motor nerves are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, while efferent nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to initiate a response.
What are the two channels which relay the messages to and from the brain and to the body parts that will do the action?
These "channels " are actually nerves termed as Afferent and Efferent nerves usually called motor and sensory nerves.
Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
What nerve is carrying the afferent and efferent impulses during the patellar reflex?
The nerves innervate the quadriceps. The afferent nerves are the muscle spindles and the efferent are the motor neurons.
Neurons that collect messages from sense organs and carry those to the spinal cord or the brain are called?
afferent nerves
What are the neurons that conduct the nerve impulses from the spinal cord and the brainstem to the thalamus called?
afferent nerves of the ascending spinal pathways.
Name the 3 types of nerves?
Afferent, efferent, and interneurons.
What branch of nerves carries a message to the brain from a muscle?
afferent
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.
What is the neuron that carries impulses away from the central nervous system?
sensory neurons trust me i know this one for sure i went on over 29 websites to find this out
What percentage of the nervous system perceives pain?
100%, I believe. The entire nervous system is made up of nerves. And nerves, in general receive pain, pleasure, or both. Hope this helped a little. The above is incorrect. Not all nerves carry pain signals. There are different nerves that carry information to the brain called afferent nerves and nerves that carry information from the brain out to the body called efferent nerves. There are also central and peripheral nerve fibers. The peripheral afferent nerves carry pain signals to the central afferent nerves which in turn carry the pain signals to the brain. The peripheral nervous system is made of three types of nerve fibers named groups A,B, and C type fibers. The group C fibers carry pain signals. I am trying to find the percentage myself but I have read that it is around 30% of the nervous system is capable of sensing pain.
