How do sensory neurons and monitor neurons differ?

Sensory neurons carry sensory information from the body to the brain, while motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the body to control movement. Monitor neurons are specialized neurons that help regulate and coordinate the activity of other neurons in the nervous system.


What are the glial cells that are found surrounding the cell bodies of peripheral neurons called?

The glial cells that surround the cell bodies of peripheral neurons are called satellite cells. Satellite cells provide support and nourishment to the neurons and help regulate their environment.


Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by?

Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by interneurons in the central nervous system. Interneurons help relay signals from sensory neurons to motor neurons, allowing for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to various stimuli.


What is an interneuron?

An interneuron is a type of neuron found in the central nervous system that communicates between sensory neurons and motor neurons. They integrate signals from different parts of the nervous system and help to process and relay information within the brain and spinal cord.


What are the supporting cells of the nervous system?

glial cells (sometimes called neuroglia).In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cellsform a myellin sheath around axons, and in the central nervous system, Oligodendrocytes do the same thing for the neurons there; and Astrocytes (Astroglia) surround brain neurons to hold them in place, provide nutrients and oxygen to them, insulate neurons from one another, destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons, and possibly in some ways modulate neurotransmission.

What are the chemicals that are released at an axon terminal and can either excite or inhibit other neurons called?

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released at an axon terminal that can either excite or inhibit other neurons. They help transmit signals across the synapses between neurons in the nervous system. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and GABA.

Are the nuerones that pass nerve impulses from sensory neurons to the motor neurons.

How do octopi change color?

They have adapted layers of special skin cells that help it to change colors.


What supports neurons supplying them with nutrients and carrying away their waste products?

Supporting cells called glial cells provide nutrients to neurons and help remove waste products. Blood vessels also play a role by delivering oxygen and nutrients to neurons and removing metabolic waste. This collective support system ensures the proper functioning and survival of neurons in the brain.


Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by?

Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by interneurons in the central nervous system. Interneurons help relay signals from sensory neurons to motor neurons, allowing for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to various stimuli.


What are bipolar neurons?

Bipolar neurons are a type of nerve cell with two processes, one acting as the dendrite (receiving end) and the other as the axon (transmitting end). These neurons are commonly found in special sensory organs like the eyes, nose, and ears, where they help relay sensory information to the brain. The bipolar structure enables them to transmit signals in a directional manner.


What drives one neuron to connect to another?

Neurons connect to each other through specialized junctions called synapses, driven by chemical signals called neurotransmitters. These signals help facilitate communication and information transfer between neurons, allowing for the integration and processing of information in the brain. Cooperation between neurons through synaptic connections is essential for various cognitive functions and behaviors.
