Nerve impulses are transmitted between neurons via neurotransmittors that are released into the synapse by the sending neuron. The neurotransmittor then binds to a receptor on the receiving neuron; when enough receptors are triggered, an action potential is initiated on the receiving neuron.

Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?

There is no specific type of neuron that transmits impulses directly from a motor neuron to a sensory neuron. Motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, while sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system for processing. Communication between motor and sensory pathways typically involves interneurons within the central nervous system.


What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?

A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.


What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?

A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.


What transmits impulses between sensory and motor?

Neurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor components of the nervous system. Sensory neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands for response. Communication between these neurons ensures coordinated sensory input and motor output.


What connects the motor neurons to the sensory neurons?

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.


Which type of neurons carries impulse from sense organs to spinal cord or brain?

Sensory neurons


What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?

Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.


Neuron transmits impulses from the periphery to the central nervous system?

afferent/sensory neurons


What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?

These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).


What is the difference between motor and sensory neurons?

The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.


Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of what?

Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of the sensory receptor that detects stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and temperature. They transmit this sensory information to the neuron's cell body, which then processes and transmits the signal to the central nervous system.


What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?

sensory neurons
