Do motor neurons send impulses to muscles or glands?
Motor neurons send impulses to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. Glands are typically innervated by autonomic neurons that regulate secretions like hormones and enzymes.
What afferent neurons convey information?
Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.
What are neurons that carry impulses?
Neurons that carry impulses are called motor neurons. These neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, directing them to take action in response to stimuli.
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
How do sensory neurons and motor neurons act in opposite ways?
Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors towards the central nervous system to detect external stimuli, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands to initiate a response or action. In this way, sensory neurons bring information in and motor neurons send information out to carry out a response.
What are motor neurons?
Motor neurons are neurons which carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to muscles or glands. When an action potential is conducted by a motor neuron a muscle contracts or a product is released from a gland.
What system controls muscles and regulates body activity?
The nervous system controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses.
What is the name of pathway of neurones that impulses in an automatic response follow?
The pathway of neurons that impulses in an automatic response follow is called the reflex arc. This involves sensory neurons detecting a stimulus, sending a signal to the spinal cord, which then processes the information and sends a response via motor neurons back to the muscles or glands.
What is the function of the neurons axon?
The axon of a neuron transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. It is responsible for carrying information over long distances within the nervous system.
What neurons carry impulses from the brain or spinal cord to other organs and cause muscles to contract?
Impulses from the brain go mostly through the channels in the spinal cord and control most everything that goes on in the body. It is a two way street with information generated chemicals being carried throughout the body.The brain uses neurons to decide what information is acted upon.
Which cell processes convey information to other neurons or effector?
The cell processes that convey information to other neurons or effectors are primarily the axons. Axons transmit electrical impulses, known as action potentials, away from the neuron's cell body to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands. At the axon terminal, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, facilitating signal transmission to the next cell. Dendrites, on the other hand, primarily receive incoming signals from other neurons.
What is the function motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
