Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) carry signals to the central nervous system and the brain. Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the brain.

How is a nerve signal transmitted from the point of sense to the brain and back?

When a stimulus is detected by a sensory nerve ending, it creates an electrical signal that travels along the nerve fiber to the spinal cord or brain. In the brain, the signal is processed, and a response is generated. The response signal then travels back along motor nerves to the muscles or organs to carry out the appropriate action.


Does neurons carry electrical currents to and from the brain?

yes


Which part of the ear changes sound waves into electrical impulses?

None - except as an artifact. The nerve cells (auditory nerve) carry the signal chemically and produce electrical signals as a side effect of ion flows. Your brain ignores the electrical signal but responds to neuro-transmitters released by the nerve cells at synapses.


What nerves carry signals to and from the eyes and ears?

The oculomotor nerve or the third cranial nerve, trochlear or forth cranial nerve and abducent or the sixth cranial nerve carry signal to your eye. The optic nerve carry the signal from the eye to the brain. Vestibulocochlear or the eighth cranial nerve carry the signal from your ear to the brain.


Do neurons carry electrical currents to and from the brain?

Yes or No.I have no idea


Which part of the inner ear changes sound waves into electrical impulses?

None - except as an artifact. The nerve cells (auditory nerve) carry the signal chemically and produce electrical signals as a side effect of ion flows. Your brain ignores the electrical signal but responds to neuro-transmitters released by the nerve cells at synapses.


What neurons are involved in a reflex?

3 neurons are included in the reflex arc. They are: Afferent neurons (take the message to the spinal cord) (sensory) Association neurons (directs message to the efferent neuron and the brain) (report reflex to the brain) Efferent neurons (takes message to effector) (motor) Not all reflexes have interneurons.


What is the main function if the nerve cells?

A neurone is a collection of specialized cells, along with supporting cells (oligodendrocytes), that convey or carry an electrical impulse to or away from the central nervous system.


What is the optics?

It is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses to the brain from the retina.


What carries information in the form of electrical sighals?

Signal curcuits are used for many different purposes. Wires carry electrical signals.


What are the 3 types of neurone?

Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Motor neurons usually carry information to muscles and glands. Sensory neurons carry information from sense organs or free endings to the spinal cord or brain. Interneurons act as a go between.


What part of the neuron would be responsible for notifing the brain that you hurt yourself?

The sensory neurons in your peripheral nervous system are responsible for detecting pain signals from your body and transmitting them to your brain. These neurons are equipped with specialized receptors that respond to stimuli like temperature, pressure, and tissue damage, sending electrical signals along nerve pathways to your brain to signal pain.
