What else can I help you with?
What type of neuron that sends information from sensory receptors toward the central nervous system?
Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. They detect stimuli from the external environment or within the body and convert these signals into electrical impulses that can be processed by the brain.
What body system processes and analyzes information?
The nervous system processes and analyzes information received from the body's sensory receptors. This information is then used to initiate appropriate responses or actions to maintain homeostasis and respond to the environment.
Which component of the nervous system makes contact with the environment?
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) makes contact with the environment. It includes sensory receptors that detect stimuli like touch, temperature, and pain, transmitting this information to the central nervous system for processing.
Information is conveyed from the same sense of organs to the central nervous system by?
Information from the same sense organs is conveyed to the central nervous system by specialized sensory neurons, which convert physical stimuli into electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials travel along nerve fibers to the central nervous system where they are processed and interpreted.
What is the other name for sensory?
The other name for sensory is afferent. Afferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Muscarinic receptors are found on?
Organs innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system. One addition to that are sweat glands. They are innervated by sympathetic nervous system, however, they have muscarinic receptors, NOT adrenergic receptors.
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.
Which structure carries sensory information?
the dorsal horn is involved in sensory functions
What neuron carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
Which component of the nervous system takes information from the environment?
Sensory receptors
Which component of the nervous system take in information from the environment?
Sensory receptors
What are two main jobs of the nervous system?
The nervous system takes in sensory information from the peripheral nervous system. This information is then directed to the central nervous system which then responds with a motor reaction that travels back to the peripheral nervous system.
