The sensory neurons in our body have different shapes but most are unipolar-shaped. Neurons can either be unipolar-, bipolar- or multiparty-shaped depending on their function.
Sensory neuron
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
Between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron lies the interneuron. Interneurons communicate and process information within the central nervous system, helping to integrate and coordinate sensory inputs with appropriate motor outputs.
The synaptic terminal of a sensory neuron is located either in the dorsal root ganglion (if it is a pseudo-unipolar neuron) or directly in the spinal cord (if it is a bipolar neuron). This is where the sensory neuron connects with other neurons to transmit sensory information to the central nervous system.
No, reflex action cannot occur if the sensory neuron is cut, even if the motor neuron remains intact. Reflex actions rely on the sensory neuron to detect a stimulus and transmit that information to the spinal cord, where it is processed and relayed to the motor neuron to initiate a response. If the sensory neuron is damaged, the signal cannot reach the spinal cord, preventing the reflex arc from completing.
Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
Sensory neuron
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
A synonym for sensory neuron is "afferent neuron." Afferent neurons transmit sensory information from peripheral receptors to the central nervous system, playing a crucial role in processing sensory experiences.
Motor neuron has got a motor.. but you have to peddle sensory neurons.
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
Bipolar neuron
sensory neuron
What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
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.
Between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron lies the interneuron. Interneurons communicate and process information within the central nervous system, helping to integrate and coordinate sensory inputs with appropriate motor outputs.
