These cells are called the senses and they are part of the nervous system. Some are very specialized such as the eyes and some are very basic such as the ones for pressure and pain.

The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?

Actually, association nerve cells, also known as interneurons, primarily function to form connections between sensory and motor nerve cells, helping to integrate and process information within the nervous system. They play a crucial role in determining how the body responds to sensory information and in coordinating complex behaviors.


Cells that relay information gained from the environment to the brain are called?

Sensory neurons are responsible for relaying information from the environment to the brain. These neurons carry signals from sensory organs such as the eyes, ears, skin, and taste buds to the brain for processing and interpretation.


Why do nerve cells have fine extensions?

Nerve cells have fine extensions called dendrites and axons to receive and transmit electrical signals, allowing for communication between different parts of the nervous system. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons, while axons transmit signals to other neurons or target cells such as muscles or glands. These extensions enable nerve cells to integrate and relay information efficiently.


What brain area is the relay center for all sensory information except one?

The thalamus is the relay center for all sensory information except for olfaction (the sense of smell). It processes and transmits sensory information to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex for interpretation. Each sensory modality has specific thalamic nuclei that handle its information before it reaches the cortex.


What is the structure that is located above the brainstem and serves as a relay station for information flowing into or out of the forebrain is called?

The structure located above the brainstem that serves as a relay station for information flowing into or out of the forebrain is called the thalamus. It plays a key role in sensory processing, regulating consciousness, sleep, and alertness.

How can you jump out an inside ac relay to start outside compressor?

You can`t... There is normally no relay on the indoor unit that starts and stops the outdoor unit. The switching of the thermostat starts and stops the condensing unit, if it is not running, and the thermostat cooling contact is closed, the problem is outside.

REF Protection how it will operate?

REF, or restricted earth fault protection is normally applied to transformers. The idea is to set a very sensitive overcurrent on the neutral of a Wye winding. For ground faults, current will flow up the neutral, triggering this overcurrent relay to operate very quickly. To prevent this relay from tripping for faults outside "the protected zone" (such as out on a line near the transformer), information is gathered from the high, low, and sometimes tertiary windings of the transformer to determine if the fault is inside the current transformers used to gather information for protecting the transformer (can be in the transformer bushings, but is often in the breakers that operate to protect the transformer) or outside them. If inside, the overcurrent is allowed to operate. If outside, the overcurrent is restrained from operating.

Where is the Fuel pump relay on a 1999 Mercedes Benz CLK 200?

In a 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 200, the fuel pump relay is typically located in the relay box under the hood, near the battery. You can find the relay box on the driver's side, and it may have a cover that you need to remove to access the relays inside. The specific relay for the fuel pump is often labeled in the diagram on the inside of the cover. Always consult the owner's manual for precise information.
