A pseudo-unipolar neuron referred to as an afferent neuron carries a sensory impulse to the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system.

A pseudo-unipolar neuron has one axon which comes from the cell body (soma) and then splits into two branches, the peripheral axonal branch which carries the impulse from the skin, and the central axonal branch which carries the impulse to the spinal cord; it has no dendrites, which distinguishes it from a bipolar neuron.

The impulse moves along the peripheral branch and then to the central branch, skipping the soma.

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 carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS?

The cerebral peduncles carry motor impulses from the cerebrum to the lower central nervous system, specifically the brainstem. These impulses are responsible for controlling voluntary movements and coordinating motor functions.


What carries impulses from the cns to the effectors?

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) carries impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to the effectors, which are muscles and glands. This transmission of impulses allows for responses such as muscle contractions or hormone release.


Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?

Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system are called motor neurons. They transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements to occur.


Which of these parts receive nerve impulses from the central nerous system causing muscle fibers to contract?

The motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles. These impulses may be generated autonomically (instinctively) or through voluntary control by the brain.

Which part of the nervous system carries impulses between the body and the central?

The peripheral nervous system carries impulses between the spinal cord and other body parts.


What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?

Motor neurons carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs. They are a part of the peripheral nervous system and transmit signals to muscles and glands, causing them to contract or secrete in response to stimuli.


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 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.


Which system is associated with transmission of impulse to the muscles?

The Central nervous systme sends impulses to the peripheral nervous system which in turn carries signals to the muscles.


What part of the nervous system has the responsibility for issuing nerve impulses and analyzing sensory data?

The answer is the central send impulses and the brain and spinal chord are used in this application.


An efferent neuron carries impulses in the direction opposite of?

opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.


What is a neroun that carries impulses away from the central nervous system to the body parts that react?

They are called as motor neurons.


What neuron carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?

Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"


What carries the nerve impulse from the central nervous system to an effector?

Nerve impulses are carried from the central nervous system to the effector organs (muscles or glands) by motor neurons. These motor neurons form a pathway known as the efferent pathway.


Carries impulses between spinal cord and body parts?

CENTRAL


The part of the peripheral nervous system that carries the sensory information to the CNS is designated?

The afferent division of the PNS carries impulses inward to a central organ or section, as nerves that conduct impulses from the periphery of the body to the brain or spinal cord
