What are the types of neurons that stimulates effectors?

Motor neurons are the types of neurons that stimulate effectors, such as muscles or glands, to produce a response. They transmit signals from the central nervous system to these effectors to elicit a specific action or function.

Is barbiturate an opiate?

No. A barbiturate is a cellular poison, an opiate mimics a normal neurotransmitter, thus changing the action of a cell but not the cell itself.


How does a barbiturate work?

Barbitturates communly known as CNS depressants, they show their action by stimulation the inhibitory pathway in CNS i.e they stimulate GABA (gamma Aminobutyric acid) there by decreasing the excitation of Cns and causes sedation or hypnosis.


What is Caffine is classified as?

Caffeine is classified as a central nervous system stimulant. It works by blocking the action of a neurotransmitter called adenosine, which promotes relaxation and sleepiness.


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.


Is phenobarbital an opiate?

No, it is related to substituted pyrimidine derivative which has similar action to that of Barbiturate but doesn't belong to barbiturate, phenyton related to group of Hydantoins.


What are two major divisions of the nervous system?

THE TWO DIVISION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ARE THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OR CNS AND PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OR PNS . Central nervous system consist of the brain and the spinal cord . It receives and sorts out information coming from the environment and from inside the body and determines the appropriate action. Peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that extend throughout the body . It is through these nerve cells that communicate between the Central nervous system and body tissues take place


The cells in the nervous system that receive and send neurotransmitter messages?

impulses travel to and from the central nervous system allowing the brain and spinal cord to control all your other body systems


Is concerta a barbituate?

No, Concerta is not a barbiturate. It is a brand name for methylphenidate, a central nervous system stimulant commonly prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Barbiturates, on the other hand, are a class of drugs that act as sedatives or anesthetics and are used primarily for their calming effects. Concerta and barbiturates have different mechanisms of action and are used to treat different conditions.


What type of impulses does the nervous system use to send messages to the brain and spinal cord?

Organs and parts of your body send information to the central nervous system (that's your brain and spinal cord) by electrical impulses. When the impulses reach the central nervous system, a response is triggered. For example, if you touch a hot object, receptors on your skin will trigger an action potential in nerve cells. This action potential will be passed on to the next cell and so on until it reaches the central nervous system. The triggering of action potentials is what causes the electrical impulse. The central nervous system will then send impulses back to your hand via a motor nerve and will cause you to automatically pull your hand away.
