reciprocal inhibition
Interneurons relay impulses within the central nervous system, typically connecting sensory neurons to motor neurons or other interneurons. They integrate and process information, helping to coordinate the body's response to stimuli.
Interneurons or associative neurons(connecting or relaying neurons)
Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.
Sensory neurons detect stimuli and transmit signals to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands to produce a response. Interneurons operate within the central nervous system to process and relay information between sensory and motor neurons.
There are three main types of neurons: sensory neurons receive sensory input from the environment, motor neurons send signals to muscles and glands, and interneurons connect neurons within the central nervous system to process and transmit information.
An interneuron is a type of neuron that connects sensory neurons to motor neurons within the central nervous system. It helps process and integrate information received from sensory neurons before transmitting signals to motor neurons for an appropriate response.
The three types of neurons are sensory(afferant) neurons, interneurons, and motor(efferant) neurons. Sensory, or afferent, neurons send information from the receptor to the central nervouse system. Interneurons, found only in the central nervous system, play the role of interpretting the impulse. The motor, or efferent, neurons send the information from the central nervous system to the effector. Receptor->sensory neuron->interneuron->motor neuron->effector.
There are three major classes of neurons: sensory neurons, which receive information from the external environment; interneurons, which process and integrate this information; and motor neurons, which send signals to muscles and glands to produce a response.
Interneurons act as connectors within the central nervous system, facilitating communication between sensory neurons and motor neurons. They help to integrate and process information received from sensory neurons and relay signals to motor neurons, coordinating the appropriate response to stimuli.
interneurons are located in the brain and spinal cord. They are stimulated by signals reaching them from sensory neurons. they process that information and send a response through the motor neurons.
Neurons are pathways for electrical messages to pass through. Their main function is to pass a message from one neuron to another. As a whole, they transmit these messages between a receptor (something that picks up a stimulus. A stimulus includes things such as temperature, pressure, pain etc.), the brain and an effector (something which carries out the response to the stimulus). There are three main types of neurons: Sensory neurons - receive message from receptor and transmit it to the -> Interneurons - receive message from sensory neurons and pass it on to the brain*. The brain responds and the interneurons pass the message on to the -> Motor neurons - receive message from interneurons and pass it on to an effector. *In the case of a reflex arc, where there is an unconscious response (e.g. touching a hot object) the message will bypass the brain and go straight from receptor to sensory to interneuron to motor to effector.
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
