What transmits impulses between sensory and motor?
The Relay Neurone
What is the path that nervous impulse takes through the nervous system?
sensory neurone --> enters spinal cord --> relay neurone --> brain(is not a reflex action) or motor neurone(if action is reflex)
Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?
No, not directly. Some sensory neurons can detect the effect of a motor neuron firing.
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 functional unit of the nervous system?
The nervous system gathers information from the external environment, stores and processes it, and initiates the appropriate responses.__________________________________excuse me, i think he / she wasn't asking about what the nervous system is but what isThe functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron.
What is a motor neuron?
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
Three differences between sensory neurone and motor neurone?
# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.
What carries impulses away from neuron cell bodies?
The axon of the neurone carries the impulse away from the cell body. The axon of the neurone carries the impulse away from the cell body.
A is for what part of the neurone that carries impulses away from the cell body?
A is for the axon, which is a long, thin extension of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells.
What is an afferent neuron?
Afferent neurons are those that transmit signals from sensory transducers to the central nervous system (i.e., the spinal cord and the brain). The complementary group of neurons are the efferent neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to effectors, that generate a response to the environmental input.
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses from the central nervous system causing muscle fibers to contract A Myelin sheaths B Motor neurons C Sensory neurons D Interneurons?
Motor neurone
What is the name of the nerve cell between the receptor cell and the central nervous system?
SENSORY NEURONE
What is acetylcholen?
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an exitatory neurotransmitter. This means it is released from the synapse of the neurone and promotes the continuation of the AP in the next neurone instead of inhibiting it. ACh is part of the peripheral nervous system and is not very prominent in the central nervous system.
How do spikes and receptors interact?
It reacts in these following steps: 1) A spike (the stimulus) is touched by receptors in the skin. 2) Receptors in the skin detect the stimulus and send electrical impulses down neurones to the sensory neurone. 3) The sensory neurone will pass these electrical signals to the CNS (Central Nervous System). 4) The CNS will pass these electrical signals to the motor neurone which once connected to the brain (through nervous cells reaching the carotid area of the body), the brain will detect and understand the feeling of the spike and will send this information the receptors.
How does information travel along the axon of a sensory neurone?
the receptor detects the stimulus and the sensor neurone sends it to the CNS (central nervous system
What transmits impulses between sensory and motor?
