The neuron fiber that transmits signals from the hand to the brain is primarily the axon of sensory neurons, specifically those in the peripheral nervous system. These sensory neurons detect stimuli, such as touch or temperature, and send electrical impulses through their axons to the spinal cord and then to the brain for processing. The axons are often myelinated, which speeds up the transmission of these signals.
What else can I help you with?
Does the motor neuron send a signal to or from the muscle fiber?
Sensory Neuron sends info to the brain while the motor sends the info to the muscle fiber.The motor neurone sends a signal from the CNS or PNS to the effector muscle or gland. Therefore the motor neurone sends a signal TO the muscle fibre.
A neuron fiber that sends a signal from your hand to your brain is called a?
A neuron fiber that sends a signal from your hand to your brain is called an afferent or sensory neuron. These neurons transmit sensory information, such as touch or pain, from peripheral receptors in the hand to the central nervous system for processing. This communication allows the brain to interpret and respond to stimuli.
What is the entire series of events through a three-neuron loop?
In a three-neuron loop, the first neuron sends a signal to the second neuron via a synapse. The second neuron processes the signal and sends it to the third neuron through another synapse. Finally, the third neuron integrates the signal and produces a response or transmits it further in the neural network.
Can a first order sensory neuron sometimes be a sensory receptor?
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron

How does reflex occur?
This is what happens:a receptor detects a stimulus (change in the environment)a sensory neuron sends a signal to the relay neuronthe relay neuron sends the signal to the motor neuronthe motor neuron sends a signal to the affected partthe affected part produces a response
What is the importance of a neuron?
A neuron sends messages from your brain to your body
What is the entire series of events through a three-neuron loop?
In a three-neuron loop, the first neuron sends a signal to the second neuron via a synapse. The second neuron processes the signal and sends it to the third neuron through another synapse. Finally, the third neuron integrates the signal and produces a response or transmits it further in the neural network.
Where does a motor neuron send its message?
A motor neuron sends its message, in the form of an electrical signal called an action potential, to a specific muscle to stimulate contraction. This signal travels down the neuron's axon to its terminal branches, where neurotransmitters are released to activate the muscle fibers.
Neuron that's sends message to the brain?
Afferent
When you touch something hot, a neuron in your finger senses the temperature. Which happens first?
an action potential moves along the neuron
Can a first order sensory neuron sometimes be a sensory receptor?
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
Part of the eye that detects light and sends signal to brain?
The retina detects light and the optical nerve sends the signal to the brain.
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron
How does the nervous system work or process?
Each neuron sends a signal to the next. These signals control all functions of the body and are made up of neurotransmitters. All sensory neurons send information to the brain and the brain decodes it and sends information to systems of the body to regulate what is happening.
