afferent and efferent
Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain)
Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
Excitatory and inhibitory messages. Excitatory messages increase the likelihood of a postsynaptic neuron firing an action potential, while inhibitory messages decrease this likelihood.
often based upon symptoms and exclusion of other neurological diseases. Nerve conduction studies can help distinguish some forms of peripheral neuropathy from motor neuron disease
functional connection between two neurons is the transmission of electrical signals from one neuron to another through a synapse. When an electrical impulse reaches the axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, allowing the electrical signal to be transmitted and continue the communication between neurons.
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a synapse. In this gap, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
A two-neuron reflex typically involves a sensory neuron carrying information from a sensory receptor to the spinal cord, where it synapses with an interneuron. The interneuron then synapses with a motor neuron that carries the response signal to an effector organ, such as a muscle or gland. In this pathway, a third neuron would not typically be involved in a two-neuron reflex.
Two things, 1, the conduction speed of the neuron will be reduced. 2, the neuron will be subject to 'activation' from extraneous sources.
The two fibers that a neuron has are the nerve and the myelin fibers
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
This process is called nerve conduction.
No, saltatory conduction is not due to the presence of NaCl (sodium chloride) around the neuron. It is a process in which nerve impulses jump from one node of Ranvier to another in myelinated neurons, speeding up the conduction of the signal. The presence of myelin sheath around the neuron helps facilitate this rapid transmission.
There are 3 types, the motor neuron, the sensory neuron, and the interneuron
Those neurons with mylenated fibers on the axon have the fastest response.
There are 3 types, the motor neuron, the sensory neuron, and the interneuron
Yes.
Nerve conduction deafness is one of the two types of deafness that can happen. It occurs when there is a break in communication between the nerve cells and the inner ear.
Yes, the axon conducts the action potential from the cell body to the effector organ.
