The effector in a neuron is the structure that carries out the response generated by the neuron in order to stimulate a target such as a muscle or gland. Effector neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to these targets to produce a specific physiological response.
What else can I help you with?
What is the gap between a neuron and its effector?
The gap between a neuron and its effector is called a synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the neuron into this gap and then bind to receptors on the effector cell to transmit the signal.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?
The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.
A molecule that is released from synaptic vesicles and serves as the means of communication from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell?
Neurotransmitter.
What is the functional contact between two neurons or between a neuron and an effector?
The functional contact between two neurons or between a neuron and an effector is known as a synapse. In this specialized junction, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron or effector cell, facilitating communication. This process allows for the transmission of signals and the modulation of various physiological responses. Synapses can be excitatory or inhibitory, influencing the likelihood of action potential generation in the postsynaptic cell.
What is the gap between a neuron and its effector?
The gap between a neuron and its effector is called a synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the neuron into this gap and then bind to receptors on the effector cell to transmit the signal.
What is the name of the neuron that contacts the effector organ?
Motor neurons are able to create a response in effector organs, muscles and glands by sending signals to them.
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.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
What are the five parts of a reflex arc?
Summarized below are the 5 major components of the reflex arc: 1. Receptor 2. Afferent (sensory) neurons 3. Association neuron 4. Efferent (motor) neurons 5. Effector
What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?
The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
The sensory receptor, sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector involved in a reflex form a reflex arc. This is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action in response to a stimulus without conscious thought.
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 is the sequence of a typical reflex arc?
1. The receptor reacts to a stimulus. 2. The sensory neuron conducts the afferent impulses to the CNS. 3. The integration center consists of one or more synapses in the CNS. 4. The motor neuron conducts the efferent impulses from the integration center to an effector. 5. The effector, muscle fibers or glands, respond to the efferent impulses by contraction or secretion a product, respectively.
A molecule that is released from synaptic vesicles and serves as the means of communication from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell?
Neurotransmitter.
What is a motor neuron?
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
How do impulses move in response to a stimulus?
to the brain, then to the effector through the motor neuron
