The entire signal travels in the neuron by a graded potential which is created in the dendrites and the body (soma) of the neuron, then it reaches a spot of the neuron which is called the axon-hillock where the signal now for the first time has encountered "voltage-gated channels" and now can create an Action potential that can propagate through the terminus of the neuron which is the length of the axon.

Neurons that carry signals from the CNS to skeletal are part?

Neurons that carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to skeletal muscles are known as somatic motor neurons. These neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of the body by transmitting signals that stimulate muscle contractions.


Sensory neuron is to motor neuron as?

Sensory neuron is to motor neuron...as feedback system is to control system. The motor neurons send signals from the brain to control the body. The sensory neurons send signals from the body back to the brain.


What are neurons that carry impulses?

Neurons that carry impulses are called motor neurons. These neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, directing them to take action in response to stimuli.


How do sensory neurons and motor neurons act in opposite ways?

Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors towards the central nervous system to detect external stimuli, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands to initiate a response or action. In this way, sensory neurons bring information in and motor neurons send information out to carry out a response.


Do nerves contain the axons of sensory and motor neurons?

Yes, nerves contain axons of both sensory neurons, which carry information from the body to the brain, and motor neurons, which carry instructions from the brain to the muscles and glands. The axons of sensory and motor neurons are bundled together within nerves to transmit signals throughout the body.

What type of neurone carry electrical signal to the brain?

Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) carry signals to the central nervous system and the brain. Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the brain.


What neurons carry motor impulses?

Motor neurons


Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?

Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system are called motor neurons. They transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements to occur.


Do nerves contain the axons of sensory and motor neurons?

Yes, nerves contain axons of both sensory neurons, which carry information from the body to the brain, and motor neurons, which carry instructions from the brain to the muscles and glands. The axons of sensory and motor neurons are bundled together within nerves to transmit signals throughout the body.


What carries mssages from the central nervous system to other parts of the body?

peripheral nervous system


A knee-jerk reflex employs motor neurons and what?

A knee-jerk reflex involves sensory neurons, which carry information from the muscle spindles to the spinal cord, and motor neurons, which carry signals from the spinal cord back to the muscle causing the contraction. This reflex is important for maintaining balance and stability in response to sudden changes in muscle length.


Three types of neurons?

Sensory neurons detect stimuli and transmit signals to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands to produce a response. Interneurons operate within the central nervous system to process and relay information between sensory and motor neurons.


How do sensory neurons and monitor neurons differ?

Sensory neurons carry sensory information from the body to the brain, while motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the body to control movement. Monitor neurons are specialized neurons that help regulate and coordinate the activity of other neurons in the nervous system.
