What is a specialized nerve endings in sensory nuerons that detect changes inside and outside the body called?
Specialized nerve endings in sensory neurons that detect changes inside and outside the body are called sensory receptors. These receptors can respond to various stimuli such as temperature, pressure, and chemicals, sending signals to the brain for interpretation.
What specialized neurons detect sensory energy from the outside world?
Receptor
How do receptors detect temperature outside the body?
Receptors that detect temperature outside the body, such as in the skin, are known as thermoreceptors. These specialized nerve endings respond to changes in temperature by detecting thermal energy. When the temperature changes, thermoreceptors send electrical signals to the brain, allowing us to perceive and respond to hot or cold stimuli.
Specialized dendrites that detect changes inside or outside the body?
Receptors.
What neurons receive messages about what is happening inside and outside the body?
efferent and afferent neurons
Do neurons have Golgi apparatuses?
Yes, neurons do have Golgi apparatuses. The Golgi apparatus in neurons functions to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for transport within the cell or for secretion outside of the cell.
Does chain ganglion contain soma from sensory neurons?
No, the chain ganglion contains cell bodies (soma) of autonomic motor neurons, not sensory neurons. Sensory neurons have their cell bodies located in the dorsal root ganglion outside the spinal cord.
How many neurons are used outside the CNS in the somatic nervous system?
one
How does the nervous system regulate and coordinate the body's responses to external stimuli and internal changes?
The nervous system controls the body's reactions to outside stimuli and internal changes by sending electrical signals through neurons. These signals help coordinate actions like movement, sensation, and organ function.
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
Sensory neurons are called afferent neurons because they carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. "Afferent" means to carry inward, referring to the direction of information flow towards the central nervous system.
What are the only neurons of cerebellar cortex that send their axons outside of cerebellar cortex?
purkinje cells
Why cell bodies of sensory neurons are located outside the central nervous system?
