It allows the electrical impulse to travel through it much more quickly
In thick well insulated (myelinated) neurones the impulse can travel in excess of 100m/s. In unmyelinated neurones the impulse can be conducted at less than 1m/s
A nerve is a bundle of neurones
sensory neurones motor neurones
the body has both sensory and motor neurones because the sensory neurones sense what is happening and sends the message along and like a motor the motor neurones pass on the message constantly round and round until it reaches its destination
Synapse
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.
what is the role of sensory and motor neurones in a reflex arc
The nervous system is used to trasmit information around the body. It is made of two systems: the central nervous system (which consists of the spine and brain) and the peripheral nervous system (which consists of neurones and receptors). There are three types of neurones: sensory neurones, relay neurons, and motor neurones.
The axons of the neurones.
