What neuron comes between the sensory and motor neuron?

Essentially, it is the interneuron. The body has numerous sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are stimulated an send their signal to the central nervous system and synapse or connect with an interneuron which is the processing center. The interneuron then synapses or connects with the motor neuron which sends a message/instruction by way of the motor neuron to skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, or glands. This is true, but to add more information, the Interneuron is also known as "relay neuron", "association neuron" or "local circuit neuron".Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron


Neuron with all parts located in the CNS?

located in the vagina


What neuron connects an afferent neuron to an efferent neuron?

The interneuron acts as a connector between afferent and efferent neurons in the central nervous system. It integrates and processes incoming sensory information before transmitting signals to the efferent neuron to produce a response.


What are the 5 steps to a reflex arc?

Arrival of stimulus, Activation of a sensory neuron, Information processing by an interneuron, Activation of a motor neuron, The response by an effector. Straight out of my anatomy text book.


In humans one function of an interneuron is to relay impulses directly from?

In humans, one function of an interneuron is to relay impulses directly from sensory neurons to motor neurons. This allows for a quick response without involving the brain in every reflex action.

Which does not constitute part of a two-neuron reflex?

A two-neuron reflex typically involves a sensory neuron carrying information from a sensory receptor to the spinal cord, where it synapses with an interneuron. The interneuron then synapses with a motor neuron that carries the response signal to an effector organ, such as a muscle or gland. In this pathway, a third neuron would not typically be involved in a two-neuron reflex.
