What structure contains the cell body (soma) of a sensory nerve receiving sensory information from the skin?
A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon. The sensory nerve cells receiving information from the skin are pseudounipolar cells having two axon. One axon extends centrally towards the spinal cord and the other axon extends towards the skin. The soma of these nerve cells having neurofilaments of specialized proteins receive sensory information through electric and chemical signals called neurotransmitters.A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon.

What are the sequence of events that occur within the nervous system from the point you touched the hot stove with your hand to the point you jerked your hand away from the stove?
1. Sensory Receptors detect danger(eg. hot stove in this case) 2. Signal is sent through a sensory neuron to the spinal cord 3.Interneuron in the spinal cord relays the message to the motor neuron 4.Motor neuron sends a message to the effector(eg. muscle) 5. Hand jerks away Sensory neuron also sends a sinal to the brain. Sensation of the evernt is detected continuosly but usually after the defensive action has been taken.
The part of the neuron which collects and combines information is called the?
soma
What happens if one of your leg motor neuron stop functioning?
The leg wouldn't be able to receive or transmit impulses and information from the central nerves system CNS to the muscle and glands
What is the path of an electrical impulse as it moves through a neuron?
The electrical impulse travels into the dendrites, the "input" of the neuron, and into the soma or "body" where the signal gets processed. From there, the processed signal travels down the axon or "output" and into the dendrites of another neuron.
What is a sensory neurones?
A sensory neuron is one that brings information about environmental simuli to the brain. It may also be called an afferent neuron.
What characteristic does spinocerebellar tract neuron share with a sensory neuron originating in quadricep femoris?
Both the spinocerebellar tract neuron and the sensory neuron from the quadriceps femoris are a type of primary sensory neuron responsible for conveying proprioceptive information to the central nervous system. They both have a cell body located in the dorsal root ganglion and an axon that enters the spinal cord to transmit sensory information.
What is the correct arrangement of a reflex arc?
Receptor → Sensory Neuron → Associative Neuron→ Motor division →Effectors
What lies between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron?
Between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron lies the interneuron. Interneurons communicate and process information within the central nervous system, helping to integrate and coordinate sensory inputs with appropriate motor outputs.
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".
The synaptic terminal of a sensory nueron is located where?
The synaptic terminal of a sensory neuron is located either in the dorsal root ganglion (if it is a pseudo-unipolar neuron) or directly in the spinal cord (if it is a bipolar neuron). This is where the sensory neuron connects with other neurons to transmit sensory information to the central nervous system.
What is the term for the neuron that transmits sensory information into the nervous system?
love
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.
How are motor and sensory neurons categorized?
Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
What neurons receive information from sensory organs?
Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
Which part of a reflex arc would have a cell body in the posterior root ganglion?
The sensory (afferent) neuron has a cell body located in the posterior root ganglion of the spinal nerve. This neuron carries sensory information from the peripheral receptors to the central nervous system.
