The sensory nerves are nerves that let you feel things and it sends signals to your brain when you feel something touching you.

Sensory neurons are responsible for carrying impulses from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord.

A sensory neuron carries an impulse from the receptor to the coordinator (CNS), thus to relay neuron ( SIMPLY CONNECTS THE TWO NEURONS) -also see SYNAPSE and motor neuron to effector organ etc. This can be summed up as (reflex arc) - passage taken RECEPTOR - SENSORY NEURON - RELAY NEURON - COORDINATOR - MOTOR NEURON - EFFECTOR ORGAN - RESPONSE.

What do you call the neurone that connects the sensory and motor neurone together?

The neuron that connects the sensory and motor neurons together is called an interneuron. Interneurons facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons within the central nervous system.


Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?

There is no specific type of neuron that transmits impulses directly from a motor neuron to a sensory neuron. Motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, while sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system for processing. Communication between motor and sensory pathways typically involves interneurons within the central nervous system.


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 type of nerve cell is bipolar and unipolar?

Bipolar neurons have two main processes (dendrite and axon), found in sensory organs like the eyes and ears. Unipolar neurons have a single process that splits into two branches, typically found in sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system.


What is the order of impulse conduction thru reflex arc?

A reflex is an automatic response, that protects the organism from a harmful stimulus. The receptors detect a stimulus which generates a nerve impulse along the sensory neurone to the Central Nervous System (CNS). The CNS decides the appropiate response to the stimulus. The nerve impulse then travels across a synapse to the relay neurone, across another synapse to the motor neurone to the effector. This is normally a muscle or an organ which moves or responds to bring about a response appropiate to the stimulus.

What is the main function of a connecting neuron?

The main function of a connecting neuron, or interneuron, is to transmit signals between sensory neurons and motor neurons within the central nervous system. They help integrate and process information, allowing for complex neural functions such as thinking, decision making, and coordination of movements.

SENSORY NEURONE


What are the parts of the nervous system and its function?

The function of the nervous system is to enable us to feel our surroundings. The five senses (sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell) have different sensory neurones in various parts of the body. The most sensitive parts of the body are the fingertips and lips, which have far more sensory neurones per square centimetre than other parts of the body. The nerve impulse travels from the sensory neurone, across a synapse (the gap between the end of one neurone and the dendrites (fingers) of the next) and reaches the next neurone. The signal reaches the coordinator (either the brain or spinal cord) and is then sent to a certain part of the body via a motor neurone, which eventually reaches the muscle and causes a movement. The nervous system is effected by stimulants and depressants, such as alcohol and drugs, which change the speed of reaction times.


What does a interconnecting neurone do?

How does information travel along the axon of a sensory neurone?
