Which neuron receives information?
actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.
What is the flow of information in a spinal reflex arc in the correct order?
The reflex arc includes the sensory neuron (sensory intake) to the motor neuron (motor response). This two neuron arc is the fastest. Many times an interneuron at the level of the spinal cord is involved. It passes information to the brain more slowly. It is like an "incident report".
DNA passes information to RNA during what process?
The process of transcription.
What is a molecule that passes genes from one generation to the next?
DNA, undergoes through replication that transmits genetic information.
How do sensory neurons motor neurons and interneurons work together to produce a response to an environmental stimulus?
This forms what is called a reflex arc. If you would touch a very hot pan, your body will respond very fast to remove your hand before it burns badly. If you had to think about it, the burn would be more severe. So this bypassed the brain and is called a reflex arc. Sensory neurons sends info into the central nervous system (CNS), passes the info to the interneuron and it passes that to the motor neuron. The interneuron also send info to the brain and you note that "that is hot!". If you pay attention to this, you will see that you will remove your hand before you feel the burn.
What describes one of the function of the nervous system?
The nervous system's ultimate function is to interpret and respond to sensory signals from the environment.The nervous system consists of two main categories:1. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): receives sensory stimuli, passes stimulus information to CNS in the form of an electrical action potential.2. Central Nervous System (CNS): consists of brain and spinal cord; interprets signals coming from sensory stimuli in the periphery and decides appropriate response to initiate- Afferent neurons transmit sensory signals from the PNS to the CNS- Efferent neurons transmit response signals to targets in the body to respond accordingly to initial sensory stimulus.

Does the dendrite come first or does the axon come first?
The dendrite. It receives signals, either from sensory receptors or from other neurons, and then passes that signal eventually to axons.
How does a nerve cells work?
the axon terminal button receives stimuli and passes it on to ither cells or it reaches the dedrites which are buried in your spine, travelles up the spine and reaches the brain, which is how you feel pain and things like that.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
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 are sensory transduction?
The transduction is a process which passes messages from cell surface to inner components of the cell. For example: uptake or release of glucose, protein synthesis, etc.
What is it in the seed which passes on the information?
the seeds inside of the seed passes on information when it is a flower
Function left atrium?
It receives and passes oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood (from lungs) into the left ventricle which passes into the aorta and then throughout the body.
Is a joystick an input or an output?
A joystick is an input device. It receives input from the user in the form of it's operation which it then passes on to the computer. Speakers are an example of an output device. They receive no input from the user, and only output (sound in this case). You can think of an input device as something that gives the computer information. And an output device as something that receives information from the computer.
What does quarterback do?
Receives the ball from the center, and either runs with it or passes it to another player. And they get tackled. A lot.
