Motor neurones
Motor neurons of the efferent division of the peripheral nervous system carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, controlling voluntary and involuntary movements. They are responsible for muscle contractions, gland secretion, and other motor functions.
False. Afferent fibers carry sensory information from the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, such as information about touch, pain, temperature, etc. Efferent fibers, on the other hand, carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles to initiate movement.
The peripheral nervous system, or PNS, conveys nerve impulses from your receptors to the central nervous system, or CNS. They also will convey nerve impulses from the CNS to your effector organs, typically a muscle or gland.
Neurons that carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to skeletal muscles are known as somatic motor neurons. These neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of the body by transmitting signals that stimulate muscle contractions.
efferent neurons are just another name for motor neurons, indicating that they carry impulses from the brain (CNS) to the target cell. Similarly, the term 'afferent''can be used interchangeably with sensory as it describes the action of a neuron carrying impulses from the stimulis (which could either be internal or external) to the CNS.
effectors which are muscles
Interneurons
nerve fibres which carry the commands from the CNS out to (muscles, organs, glands) for a motor output or response.
It is located outside of the central nervous system and consists of nerves and sensory receptors, it carries impulses formed by receptors, such as pain and sound receptors, to the CNS and it carries impulses from the CNS to effectors, glands and muscles that carry out actions directed by the CNS
Motor neurons of the efferent division of the peripheral nervous system carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, controlling voluntary and involuntary movements. They are responsible for muscle contractions, gland secretion, and other motor functions.
Nerve cells that carry impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to muscles or glands are called motor neurons. These neurons transmit signals that enable movement and regulate various bodily functions by stimulating muscle contractions or glandular secretions. They play a crucial role in the somatic and autonomic nervous systems, facilitating voluntary and involuntary responses.
Efferent Neuron
In the central nervous system (CNS), there are two main types of neuron fibers: afferent (sensory) fibers that carry information from sensory receptors to the CNS, and efferent (motor) fibers that carry information from the CNS to effectors such as muscles and glands. These fibers make up the vast network of connections that allow for communication within the brain and spinal cord.
In the central nervous system (CNS), the primary types of neurons are motor neurons, sensory neurons, and interneurons. Motor neurons transmit signals from the CNS to muscles and glands, sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the CNS, and interneurons facilitate communication between neurons within the CNS. Additionally, glial cells, while not neurons, play crucial supportive roles in the CNS.
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
False. Afferent fibers carry sensory information from the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, such as information about touch, pain, temperature, etc. Efferent fibers, on the other hand, carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles to initiate movement.
No, the afferent division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) does not carry motor fibers. Instead, it is responsible for transmitting sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). Motor fibers are part of the efferent division of the PNS, which carries signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to elicit a response.
