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.

How is information transferred when movement is fast to a stimulus?
When movement is fast in response to a stimulus, the body sends rapid signals through the nervous system. Sensory neurons detect the stimulus and quickly convey this information to the brain. The brain then processes the information and sends out signals to motor neurons, instructing the body to react accordingly.
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 chemicals are produced and released by neurons that convey information between most nerve cells?
neurotransmitters
What neuron carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
What neuron processes convey messages away from the cell body?
Axons are the neuron processes that convey messages away from the cell body. They are long, fiber-like structures that transmit electrochemical signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Does a efferent neuron convey information away from the hippocampus?
Technically efferent neurons carry information AWAY from anything, afferent neurons carry information TOWARD something. So the hippocampus may have efferent information going to other parts of the brain (limbic structures, frontal lobe structures, etc). Most often efferent information refers to motor output in or to the peripheral nervous system.
What are the 3 types of nerons?
The three main types of neurons are sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from receptors to the central nervous system, motor neurons convey signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, and interneurons connect various neurons within the central nervous system, facilitating communication between sensory and motor pathways. Together, these neurons play crucial roles in processing information and coordinating responses in the nervous system.
What are documents that convey information about products processes or business matters concisely and clearly?

What is Neurons that convey impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands are what?
Interneurons
What is the structure of a neuron and its role in the brain?
A neuron has dendrites (as inputs), a cell body (soma), and an output (axon).The neuron is the functional unit of the brain: neurons receive sensory information, process that information, store it, and convey commands to muscles and glands based on that information and its processing.
What is somatic nervous system?
The somatic nervous system transmits sensory messages to the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system is a sub group of the peripheral nervous system, it mainly controls voluntary muscles and sense organs.
How dendrites convey information?
Dendrites are the branching extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons through specialized structures called synapses. They convey information by integrating incoming electrical signals, or neurotransmitter responses, and converting them into graded potentials. These graded potentials can then influence the neuron's overall membrane potential, ultimately determining whether the neuron will fire an action potential and transmit information further along the neural circuit. This process is crucial for communication within the nervous system and plays a key role in learning and memory.
