other nerve cells...
The brain is made up of nerve cells (also called neurons). There are neurons both in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. The communication between neurons occurs with release of neurotransmitters (chemicals that affect the surface of neurons). The release of neurotransmitters occurs when an electrical impulse travels down the neuron and causes the neuron to "fire" off neurotransmitter. This electrical impulse is called an "action potential." The release of neurotransmitter can have one of two possible effects on the "receiving" neuron, depending on which neurotransmitter binds with which neuron. It can make the receiving neuron either more likely to fire (excitatory) or less likely to fire (inhibitory). The result of this activity in billions of neurons creates quite a symphony, including everything we call thought.

What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?
Motor neurons carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs. They are a part of the peripheral nervous system and transmit signals to muscles and glands, causing them to contract or secrete in response to stimuli.
A sensory neuron carries stimuli from central nervous system to the effector. true or false?
False. A sensory neuron carries stimuli from the peripheral nervous system (such as skin or organs) to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing. Effector neurons are responsible for carrying signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, or other organs to produce a response to the stimulus.
What organs makeup the nervous system?
The main organs that make up the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. The brain is the central control center, processing information and sending signals to the rest of the body. The spinal cord acts as a pathway for transmitting messages between the brain and the body, while the peripheral nerves connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs.
What system in the body carries information from the glands and organs to the brain?
The nervous system carries information from the glands and organs to the brain. This communication is often facilitated by the peripheral nervous system, which includes sensory nerves that send signals to the brain for interpretation and response.
What organ are involved in the nervous system?
The main organs involved in the nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord, which make up the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system includes nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body's organs and tissues.
What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?
Motor neurons carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs. They are a part of the peripheral nervous system and transmit signals to muscles and glands, causing them to contract or secrete in response to stimuli.
What carries motor responses from the central nervous system to muscles glands and other organs?
brain stem
What nervous system carries brain and spinal cord signals to other organs?
It is the central nervous system
A sensory neuron carries stimuli from central nervous system to the effector. true or false?
False. A sensory neuron carries stimuli from the peripheral nervous system (such as skin or organs) to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing. Effector neurons are responsible for carrying signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, or other organs to produce a response to the stimulus.
What neuron carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
What carries the nerve impulse from the central nervous system to an effector?
Nerve impulses are carried from the central nervous system to the effector organs (muscles or glands) by motor neurons. These motor neurons form a pathway known as the efferent pathway.
What carry messages from your sense ograns to your brain?
The nervous system carries messages from your sense organs to your brain. These messages are transmitted through sensory neurons that send signals to the brain to be interpreted as different sensations such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
What tissues makes up organs that sends messages?
Nervous tissue.
What is a motor neuron?
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
What system in the carries information from the glands and organs to the brain?
Nervous system
What does central nervous system includes?
The central nervous system has two organs, the brain and the spinal cord.
What organs makeup the nervous system?
The main organs that make up the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. The brain is the central control center, processing information and sending signals to the rest of the body. The spinal cord acts as a pathway for transmitting messages between the brain and the body, while the peripheral nerves connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs.
