What is the primary unit of function in the nervous tissue?
The primary unit of function in nervous tissue is the neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. They form complex networks that allow for communication within the nervous system.
An efferent neuron carries impulses in the direction opposite of?
opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.
What is a preganglionic neuron?
A preganglionic neuron is a type of neuron located in the central nervous system that forms synapses with ganglionic neurons in the autonomic nervous system. It carries signals from the central nervous system to the ganglia, allowing for communication between the brain and the autonomic nervous system.
What is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?
motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body.Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.Motor areas control your muscle during movement.andA sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits direction to muscles and organs from the central nervous system to perform some function. The motor neurones cell body is located in the central nervous system and has a long axon (longest in body is around 1m) This is how these two are different.hop
What is the name of the neurone that carries impulses to the central nervous system?
The neuron that carries impulses to the central nervous system is called a sensory neuron. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to sensory information.
What is the function of a relay neron?
transmission of nerve impulses from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron,located in the central nervous system.
What are the function of motor neuron?
The function is to catch/take impulses from the central nervous system and send it to muscles and glands
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous?
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous system is the multipolar neuron. These neurons have many dendrites and a single axon extending from the cell body. Multipolar neurons are involved in processing and transmitting information in the brain and spinal cord.
What is a neuron that carries stimuli from the sense organ to the central nervous system?
sensory neuron..
What is the primary unit of function in the nervous tissue?
The primary unit of function in nervous tissue is the neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. They form complex networks that allow for communication within the nervous system.
What is the function motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
What is the function of effector in a neuron?
The effector in a neuron is the structure that carries out the response generated by the neuron in order to stimulate a target such as a muscle or gland. Effector neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to these targets to produce a specific physiological response.
What type of neuron is found completely within the central nervous system?
motor neuron
What is the neuron that conducts impulses away from the central nervous system to muscles only?
That is referred to as a motor neuron.
An efferent neuron carries impulses in the direction opposite of?
opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.
A neuron's cell body is termed what in the cns?
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
What is the most common neuron type in the central nervous system?
The most common neuron type in the central nervous system (CNS) is the inhibitory interneuron, particularly those that use gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a neurotransmitter. These interneurons play a crucial role in regulating neuronal excitability and maintaining the balance between excitation and inhibition within neural circuits. Additionally, pyramidal neurons, which are excitatory and found primarily in the cerebral cortex, are also prevalent but are less numerous than GABAergic interneurons. Together, these neuron types are essential for proper CNS function.
