The brain is the control, and the whole reaction of a reflex arc starts with a stimulus, ie, touching a hot flame, the detector of this stimulus being the receptor. The electrical impulses travel through the sensory neuron to which it is then carried to the synapse (impulses reach the brain) the energy is then transferred across the synapse, to the relay neuron and then to the motor neuron, finally reaching the effector, (mainly muscle or gland) to move away the body part.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What type of nerve conducts impulses to the olfactory bulbs?
The olfactory nerve, also known as cranial nerve I, conducts impulses from the nose to the olfactory bulbs in the brain. It is responsible for the sense of smell.
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
What is the sequence of a typical reflex arc?
1. The receptor reacts to a stimulus. 2. The sensory neuron conducts the afferent impulses to the CNS. 3. The integration center consists of one or more synapses in the CNS. 4. The motor neuron conducts the efferent impulses from the integration center to an effector. 5. The effector, muscle fibers or glands, respond to the efferent impulses by contraction or secretion a product, respectively.
What is a motor neuron attached to?
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
What Neuron moves impulses from the brain?
I believe its motor nerve cells
What part of the nervous system does sensory neuron carry impulses?
brain or spinal cord
Which type of neuron carries impulses from sense organs to the spinal cord or brain?
sensory neuron
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron
What are neurons that carry impulses towards the spinal cord and brain?
An Efferent Neuron.
What neuron carries impulses to the spinal cord and the brain?
Afferent neurons (sensory)
How do impulses move in response to a stimulus?
to the brain, then to the effector through the motor neuron
What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Why is an efferent neuron multipolar?
Efferent neuron is a neuron that regulate the action of a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. It is a neuron which produces impulses outward from the brain or spinal cord, so its consider a multi-polar neuron.
What is the part of the body made up of bundles of neurons that carry impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all parts of the body?
The nervous system carries impulses to and from the brain by way of neurons. The bundles are called nerves. Sensory nerves bring impulses into the spinal cord and brain and motor neuron carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.
What is the neuron that conducts impulses towards the periphery?
The efferent neuron carries impulses towards the periphery.
Long projections of a neuron that propagate impulses away from the cell body?
An Axon, otherwise known as a nerve fiber, is designed to carry electrical impulses away from the neuron. This is important for carrying information around the body, to and from the brain, muscles, and glands.
