Does the sensory afferent division conveys impulses away from the central nervous system?

No, the sensory afferent division conveys impulses towards the central nervous system. Afferent neurons transmit sensory signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.


What sensory neurons to motor neurons?

Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.


Does the ganglia contain sensory neurons?

No, the ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies located outside of the central nervous system. They primarily contain motor neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands for motor control. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory organs to the central nervous system for processing.


The peripherral nervous system has sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells?

Yes, the peripheral nervous system consists of sensory nerve cells that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerve cells that transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to elicit a response.


Why sensory neuron have one axon?

Sensory neurons have one axon to transmit signals from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system. This allows for the efficient relay of sensory information such as touch, pain, and temperature to the brain for processing. Having one axon helps maintain the specificity and accuracy of the sensory signals being conveyed.

Sensory neurons transmit signals to the?

Sensory neurons transmit signals to the central nervous system, specifically to the brain and spinal cord, where the signals are processed and interpreted. The central nervous system then generates a response to the sensory input, allowing the body to react appropriately to the stimulus.


What is the name of the neurone that carries impulses to the central nervous system?

The neuron that carries impulses to the central nervous system is called a sensory neuron. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to sensory information.


Three types of neurons?

Sensory neurons detect stimuli and transmit signals to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands to produce a response. Interneurons operate within the central nervous system to process and relay information between sensory and motor neurons.

What transmits impulses between sensory and motor?

Neurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor components of the nervous system. Sensory neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands for response. Communication between these neurons ensures coordinated sensory input and motor output.


What nervous system carries brain and spinal cord signals to other organs?

It is the central nervous system


Sensory neuron is to motor neuron as?

Sensory neuron is to motor neuron...as feedback system is to control system. The motor neurons send signals from the brain to control the body. The sensory neurons send signals from the body back to the brain.


The peripherral nervous system has sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells?

Yes, the peripheral nervous system consists of sensory nerve cells that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerve cells that transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to elicit a response.


What type of neuron that sends information from sensory receptors toward the central nervous system?

Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. They detect stimuli from the external environment or within the body and convert these signals into electrical impulses that can be processed by the brain.


What are the three types of neurone involved in a reflex action?

The three types of neurons are sensory(afferant) neurons, interneurons, and motor(efferant) neurons. Sensory, or afferent, neurons send information from the receptor to the central nervouse system. Interneurons, found only in the central nervous system, play the role of interpretting the impulse. The motor, or efferent, neurons send the information from the central nervous system to the effector. Receptor->sensory neuron->interneuron->motor neuron->effector.
