What division transmits impulses from the cns to the muscles or glands?
The sensory or afferent division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from the sense organs to the CNS.
What is the medical term meaning Nerves that carry impulses away from the CNS?
Efferent nerves.the motor neuron transmits the impulse away from the CNS and to the effector
What do the terms afferent and efferent mean?
· Afferent and efferent divisions are:o Sensory (afferent) Division§ Somatic afferent nerves - carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the CNS§ Visceral afferent nerves - transmit impulses from visceral organs to the CNSo Motor (efferent) Division§ Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles and glands, to effect (bring about) a motor responseAfferent nerves are the one that carry the information from periphery to central nervous system for further processing. While efferent nerves carry the processed information from central nervous system towards the periphery for action.
What is the function of the PNS?
The peripheral nervous system, or PNS, conveys nerve impulses from your receptors to the central nervous system, or CNS. They also will convey nerve impulses from the CNS to your effector organs, typically a muscle or gland.
What is the relationship between the CNS and the PNS?
The central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, processes and integrates information, while the peripheral nervous system (PNS) connects the CNS to the rest of the body, including limbs and organs. The PNS transmits sensory information to the CNS and carries motor commands from the CNS to muscles and glands. Together, they coordinate and regulate bodily functions and responses to the environment. This interaction ensures that the body can effectively respond to stimuli and maintain homeostasis.
What is the nerve system?
The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. All impulses from the body are relayed to receptors in the CNS to be interpreted and responded to by the brain.
Which fiber tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas?
The corticospinal tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas, primarily to control voluntary movements throughout the body. It is involved in motor function and helps in coordinating muscle movements.
What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Sensory nerves are responsible for carrying impulses toward the central nervous system (CNS). These nerves transmit information about sensations such as touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception from the body to the brain and spinal cord for processing.
Where does the spinal nerve take nerve impulses?
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
Nerves that transmit impulses to the CNS are called?
motor
What types of neuron carries impulses away from the CNS?
Motorneurons
What is Neurons that convey impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands are what?
Interneurons
