What is a motor neuron attached to?

A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.


What occur during reflex arc?

Definitions: 1. afferent neuron - sensory nerve 2. efferent neuron - motor nerve 3. monosynaptic - see below There are different types of reflexes but the simplest type is a monosynaptic reflex. This means the afferent neurons connect directly to the efferent neurons. For example the knee jerk reflex is a monosynaptic reflex: 1. The patellar tendon is stretched. 2. The afferent neuron (which has stretch sensors) send a signal up to the spinal cord. 3. In the spinal cord at the synapse. The electrical signal is changed to a chemical signal. 4. Chemical messengers travel across the synapse and stimulate the efferent neuron. 5. The efferent neuron changes these signals into electrical signals which travel down to the quadriceps muscle. 6. There is another synapse connecting the nerve to the muscle. chemical messengers travel across the synapse and stimulate the muscle to contract.


Which neuron receives information?

actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.


How do your body parts move?

Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.


What neuron moves the impulses to the brain?

The brain is the control, and the whole reaction of a reflex arc starts with a stimulus, ie, touching a hot flame, the detector of this stimulus being the receptor. The electrical impulses travel through the sensory neuron to which it is then carried to the synapse (impulses reach the brain) the energy is then transferred across the synapse, to the relay neuron and then to the motor neuron, finally reaching the effector, (mainly muscle or gland) to move away the body part.
