What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What determines whether a neutron fires an action potential?
Neurons do not fire action potentials because they are not excitable cells like nerve cells. Neurons are made up of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon that transmit signals in the form of electrical impulses, known as action potentials.
Are the cells that transmit sensory messages called nerve cells or muscle cells?
The cells that transmit sensory messages are called nerve cells or neurons. Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are responsible for contraction and movement.
What are animal cells that are specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses known as?
Animal cells specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses are known as neurons. Neurons have unique structures such as dendrites, axons, and synapses that allow for the transmission of electrical signals within the nervous system.
What makes a nerve cell so good at its job?
Nerve cells or neurons are well suited to their job of transmitting impulses around the body: * Myelin sheath insulates and protects the axons, * Many mitaochondria to produce enough energy to allow the cells to transmit the signal, * Cytoplasmic extensions enable rapid distribution of impulses.
Nerve cells that transmit nerve impulses in the form of electrochemical changes are known as?
Neurons
What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized to receive and transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. They have structures called dendrites that receive signals from other neurons, and an axon that transmits signals to other cells. Neurons have a membrane potential that allows them to generate and transmit electrical impulses known as action potentials.
Which cell is the longest?
Nerve cells, also known as neurons, can be some of the longest cells in the body. They can extend from the spinal cord to the tips of your toes and are designed to transmit electrical impulses over long distances.
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What conduct impulses from the brain?
Nerve cells, or neurons, conduct impulses from the brain through their axons. These long, slender projections transmit electrical signals, known as action potentials, to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands. This communication is essential for coordinating bodily functions and responses. Additionally, myelin sheaths surrounding some axons enhance the speed of these impulses.
What nerve Cells transmit signals to muscle Cells?
These Types of nerve Cells are Known As Motor Neurons.

What are the three connective tissue membranes covering and protecting CNS structure collectively known as?
Beneath the skull are three layers of covering known collectively as the meninges. From the outside in, they are: the dura mater, the arachnoid and the pia mater.
What are two major types of cells that form nervous tissue?
First is the neuroglia, function is to support and protect the cells of the nervous system. Second is neurons, which are responsible for conducting nerve impulses from one part of the body to another.
