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.


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.


Three kinds of neurons?

1.sensory neuron- carry impulses from the sensory receptors to the Central Nervous System 2.motor neurons- carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to the muscles and glans 3.association neuron- relay impulses netween sensory and motor neurons -------------------- AD go to bookden.webs.com .. a website for booklovers.. thx


What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?

The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.

How many types of neurons?

There are three types of neurons. 1.Sensory neurons: which carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord. 2.Motor neurons : which perform an opposite function to that of sensory neurons by carrying impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands. 3. Inter neurons : which connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them.
