That would be an interneuron otherwise known as an associative neuron.

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.


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.


Which is the last part of the neuron to be involved in the transmission of a neural impulse towards the next neuron?

Signalling ALONG a neuron is electrical, but signalling BETWEEN neurons is a chemical process. Neuron A 'passes' a message onto the next by releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters , which are then taken up by neuron B. The point at which these neurotransmitters are released from the neuron A is called the 'terminal bouton' and is the end of its axon. More specifically, it is the presynaptic membrane OF the terminal bouton at which the passing on of a message occurs.


What is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals?

A neuron is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals when stimulated


What begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment true or false?

From the axon terminal of another neuron, a bunch of chemicals (neurotransmitters) are released and travel across the synapse (junction of two neurons). If enough stimulate the second neuron, the total energy triggers another action potential. Short and simple explanation--message me if you want more info!

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.


Trace how a message is passed from one neuron to another?

A neuron sends a message, or neurotransmitter, to the muscle cell to tell it what to do. To get the message, the receiving cell must have a receptor. Oddly, the unstable protein rapsyn is responsible for anchoring the receptor so it's properly positioned to catch the message.

How does neuronal firing cause muscle contraction?

What part of the body sends a message to the brain?

Your nervous system sends messages from the body to the brain. Different kinds of Neurons are used to send each message, to allow your brain to know what is going on in your environment. The things that cause a reaction are called Stimuli. Messages are sent along nerve cells, or Neurons. For instance, if you prick your finger on a pin, a sensor in your skin called a Receptor sends a message of pain through a Sensory Neuron, to a Relay neuron in your Central Nervous System (which is your brain and spinal cord). The message is then sent through the CNS, to the brain, so your brain can decide how to react to the pain. The message is THEN sent through a motor neuron, which causes your muscles to move to react to the message. (Something that reacts to a message from a neuron is called an Effector- because it causes an effect.) In this case, the message from the motor neuron to the effector- your muscle- would make you pull your hand back, to get it away from the pin. In short: A change in your environment, like pain, is picked up by a Receptor. The message picked up by the Receptor is sent through a Sensory Neuron. The message is then sent through the Central Nervous System by Relay Neuron. Once the brain has decided what to do, it sends a message to the Motor Neuron. The Motor Neuron triggers an Effector (a muscle, or some chemical secretion) to react to the change. It may not be completely correct, but I'm 90% sure that's at least a rough, simple version.
