The sensory (or afferent) neuron carries messages to the brain and then the motor (or efferent) neuron carries the reaction message from the brain to the gland or muscle being effected in response. :)

What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?

Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.


What are the three classes of neuron?

The three classes of neurons are sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the central nervous system (CNS), motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to control movements, and interneurons facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons within the CNS.


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 neurone carries impulese?

The neuron that carries impulses is called a motor neuron or an efferent neuron. These neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to muscles and glands, facilitating movement and responses. Additionally, sensory neurons (afferent neurons) carry impulses from sensory receptors to the CNS, allowing the brain to process and respond to external stimuli. Together, these types of neurons play crucial roles in the nervous system's communication network.


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.

What carries impulses toward the neuron cell body?

Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.


Which neurons are present in CNS?

In the central nervous system (CNS), the primary types of neurons are motor neurons, sensory neurons, and interneurons. Motor neurons transmit signals from the CNS to muscles and glands, sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the CNS, and interneurons facilitate communication between neurons within the CNS. Additionally, glial cells, while not neurons, play crucial supportive roles in the CNS.


When a group of neurons that carry impulses from the CNS to effectors are clustered together they are called what?

Motor neurons.

What type of neuron carries information to the CNS?

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). These neurons transmit information about external stimuli (such as touch, sound, and light) or internal conditions (such as pain or temperature) to the brain and spinal cord.


Three differences between sensory neurone and motor neurone?

# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.


Why do senseory neurons do?

Sensory neurons are specialized cells responsible for transmitting sensory information from various parts of the body to the central nervous system (CNS). They detect stimuli from the environment, such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell, and convert these signals into electrical impulses. These impulses are then processed by the CNS, allowing for perception and response to the surrounding environment. Essentially, sensory neurons play a crucial role in how organisms interact with and perceive their world.
