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 is the difference between somatic sensory neurons and visceral sensory neurons?
Somatic sensory neurons detect stimuli from the skin, muscles, and joints. Visceral sensory neurons detect stimuli from internal organs such as the heart, lungs, and intestines. Both types of neurons transmit sensory information to the central nervous system for processing.
How do sensory and motor neurons differ?
Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord, while motor neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands to produce movement or secretion. Sensory neurons are involved in detecting stimuli from the environment, whereas motor neurons are responsible for carrying out responses to those stimuli.
The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?
Neurons can react to stimuli through electrical signaling, where they generate action potentials to transmit information along their length. They can also respond to chemical signals by releasing neurotransmitters at synapses to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
How is audio data transmitted?
Auditory sensory neurons are specialized to detect stimuli from the environment which triggers the neuron to transmit a message to the central nervous system. These stimuli are both voluntary and involuntary.
What does the nervous system use to relay on messages to the body?
Sensory Neurons- they detect stimuli and transmit signals to the brain and the spinal cord, which are both made up of interneurons
Neurons with the ability to monitor the environment are called what?
Sensory neurons are the type of neurons that have the ability to monitor the environment. They are specialized to detect stimuli from the external or internal environment and transmit this information to the brain for processing.
Do neurons demonstrate irritability and conductivity and transmit electrical messages from one part of the body to another?
Yes, neurons demonstrate irritability as they respond to stimuli by generating electrical impulses. They also have the ability to conduct these impulses along their length, allowing them to transmit electrical messages from one part of the body to another through synapses with other neurons.
What neurons react directly to stimuli from the environment?
sensory neurons
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 neurons called that detect stimuli in skin and eyes?
sensory neurons
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
