Types of Neurons

Front

What type of neuron processes information from Sensory Neurons and passes it onto Motor Neurons?

Back

Interneurons

Front

What is the function of the Cell Body in a neuron?

Back

The Cell Body contains the nucleus and organelles, and it integrates incoming signals.

Front

What type of neurons are responsible for carrying signals from the brain to muscles?

Back

Motor Neurons

Front

What part of the neuron is responsible for insulating the axon and speeding up signal transmission?

Back

Myelin Sheath

Front

What is the role of Myelin Sheaths in the nervous system?

Back

Myelin Sheaths protect and insulate axons, allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals.

Front

What are the three main types of neurons?

Back

Sensory Neurons, Interneurons, and Motor Neurons.

Front

What is the primary function of Sensory Neurons?

Back

Sensory Neurons transmit sensory information from receptors to the central nervous system.

Front

How do Interneurons contribute to reflex actions?

Back

Interneurons connect sensory and motor neurons, facilitating quick reflex responses.

Front

What is the significance of the Axon in a neuron?

Back

The Axon transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.

Front

What is the difference between Myelin Sheath and Axon?

Back

The Myelin Sheath is a protective covering that insulates the Axon, which is the long projection that conducts impulses.
