endocrine system
Neurons originate from neural stem cells in the developing embryo, primarily in the neural tube.
The sympathetic motor neurons come from the thoracic through the lumbar region of the spinal cord.
The effector pathway of the autonomic nervous system typically contains two types of neurons: preganglionic neurons and postganglionic neurons. The preganglionic neurons originate in the central nervous system and synapse with postganglionic neurons located in autonomic ganglia. These postganglionic neurons then project to various target organs, mediating involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate.
Muscle tissue itself does not contain neurons and neuroglia; these are components of the nervous system. However, skeletal muscle is innervated by motor neurons that originate in the spinal cord and brain, which control muscle contractions. Neurological support cells (neuroglia) are found in the nervous system, providing support and protection for neurons. In summary, while muscle tissue interacts with neurons, it does not contain them.
Yes, motor neurons do originate from the spinal cord. They are located in the anterior horn of the spinal cord and are responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles, facilitating movement. These neurons play a crucial role in the voluntary control of muscle contractions and reflex actions.
So, neurons are in the blood vessels. blood vessels originate from the brain. So, the main source of the cardiovascular system starts with the brain. Then arteries and veins spread all over the human body. and neurons lie within the vessels.
The "impulses" to skeletal muscles come primarily from alpha motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. These neurons release acetylcholine on the muscles, which causes sodium to enter the muscle, leading to contraction. The alpha motor neurons themselves get input from several sources, such as the primary motor area in the cerebral cortex of the brain. However, even this brain area gets input from other brain areas, including sensory areas. In a certain sense, the impulses to the muscles "originate" from the environment in the form of sensory signals.
Pre-ganglionic and post-ganglionic refer to the neurons in the autonomic nervous system. Pre-ganglionic neurons originate in the central nervous system (CNS) and project to autonomic ganglia, where they synapse with post-ganglionic neurons. The post-ganglionic neurons then extend to target organs, influencing functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. This two-neuron pathway is essential for the regulation of involuntary body functions.
sensory neurons
Postganglionic fibers that innervate targets in the body wall or thoracic cavity originate on neurons within the sympathetic chain ganglia (paravertebral ganglia) or prevertebral ganglia (e.g., celiac ganglion). These ganglia are part of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and play a role in coordinating the body's fight-or-flight responses.
Sensory Neurons
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
