What else can I help you with?
Do motor neurons send impulses to muscles or glands?
Motor neurons send impulses to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. Glands are typically innervated by autonomic neurons that regulate secretions like hormones and enzymes.
What do you call the slender nerve fiber?
The slender nerve fiber is called an axon. It is the long, slender projection of a nerve cell that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
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 neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
Where do motor nerves conduct impulses from?
Motor nerves conduct impulses from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to muscles and glands in order to stimulate movement or secretion.
What is the function motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
What is the functions of the Motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
What system controls muscles and regulates body activity?
The nervous system controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses.
What Efferent nerves carry impulses primarily to the muscles and what?
glands
What is Neurons that convey impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands are what?
Interneurons
What is the axon responsible for?
It generates and transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Do motor neurons send impulses to muscles or glands?
Motor neurons send impulses to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. Glands are typically innervated by autonomic neurons that regulate secretions like hormones and enzymes.
Muscles and glands that are capable of responding to nerve impulses are called what?
Effectors.
What is the function of the neurons axon?
The axon of a neuron transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. It is responsible for carrying information over long distances within the nervous system.
Which part of the nervous system carries impulses to involuntary muscles and glands?
autonomicautonomic
What division carries motor commands to muscles and glands?
efferent division
What do the terms afferent and efferent mean?
· Afferent and efferent divisions are:o Sensory (afferent) Division§ Somatic afferent nerves - carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the CNS§ Visceral afferent nerves - transmit impulses from visceral organs to the CNSo Motor (efferent) Division§ Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles and glands, to effect (bring about) a motor responseAfferent nerves are the one that carry the information from periphery to central nervous system for further processing. While efferent nerves carry the processed information from central nervous system towards the periphery for action.
