Yes, an electrical signal is passed from the dendrites of 1 motor neuron, through it's cell body, through it's axon (the long tail looking feature of the neuron). It then travels through branches of the axon and forms synapses with other motor neurons, this is how the electrical signal is passed.

What are relay neurons?

An interneuron (also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) is a neuron that forms a connection between other neurons. Interneurons are neither motor nor sensory.


Which neuron receives information?

actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.


What is the space between neurons across which chemical messages pass?

The space between neurons is called the synaptic cleft. It is where neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron, travel across the cleft, and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit chemical messages.


What is the majority of all afferent pathways pass through and synapse with neurons?

The motor neuron is the final common pathway for all neurons to travel to complete their synapse. Afferent neurons or unipolar neurons all pass through the cord and brain on this journey.


How neurons send messages?

The messages are carried by chemical messenger across the neurons (synapses). It is actually an enzyme which is released from one end of the synapse and which triggers the electrical message to pass through each cell from side to side.


What kind of neuron sends a message from the brain to the muscles in a persons arm to control the movement involved in putting clothes on?

There are basically two kinds of neurons- sensory and motor. Motor neurons are responsible for passing on messages from the brain, to the effector muscles, while performing a voluntary action (they also do that for involuntary actions) Sensory neurons on the other hand, detect a stimulus, and pass on the message to the brain, which analyses the information, decides the course of action, and passes on the message back through the motor neuron, to the effector muscles.


These cells are able to pass messages back and forth?

Neurons are the cells responsible for sending and receiving messages in the nervous system. They can pass messages back and forth by transmitting electrical signals along their length and releasing chemical messengers called neurotransmitters at the synapses to communicate with other neurons or target cells.


How many functions of neurons in the nervous system?

Neurons are pathways for electrical messages to pass through. Their main function is to pass a message from one neuron to another. As a whole, they transmit these messages between a receptor (something that picks up a stimulus. A stimulus includes things such as temperature, pressure, pain etc.), the brain and an effector (something which carries out the response to the stimulus). There are three main types of neurons: Sensory neurons - receive message from receptor and transmit it to the -> Interneurons - receive message from sensory neurons and pass it on to the brain*. The brain responds and the interneurons pass the message on to the -> Motor neurons - receive message from interneurons and pass it on to an effector. *In the case of a reflex arc, where there is an unconscious response (e.g. touching a hot object) the message will bypass the brain and go straight from receptor to sensory to interneuron to motor to effector.


What cells are able to pass messages back and forth?

The cells that are able to pass messages back and fourth are called neurons. These neurons are found in the brain.


What transmits impulse between sensory and motor neurons?

Nerve impulses are transmitted between neurons via neurotransmittors that are released into the synapse by the sending neuron. The neurotransmittor then binds to a receptor on the receiving neuron; when enough receptors are triggered, an action potential is initiated on the receiving neuron.
