Sensory Neurons Quiz

What is the structure of a sensory neuron?

• Nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane

• Roots, stems, and leaves

• Heart, lungs, and liver

• Cell body, dendrites, and axon

Describe the components of a sensory neuron.

• Roots, stems, and leaves

• Nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes

• Femur, tibia, and fibula

• Dendrites, cell body, and axon

How is the structure of a sensory neuron related to its function?

• The structure of a sensory neuron is related to its function by allowing it to store memories

• The structure of a sensory neuron is related to its function by allowing it to produce hormones

• The structure of a sensory neuron is related to its function by allowing it to receive and transmit sensory information.

• The structure of a sensory neuron has no relation to its function

What is the main function of sensory neurons?

• Produce hormones in the body

• Transmit signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system

• Regulate body temperature

• Control muscle movement

Explain the role of sensory neurons in detecting stimuli.

• Sensory neurons detect stimuli through specialized receptors that respond to changes in the environment.

• Sensory neurons detect stimuli by regulating body temperature

• Sensory neurons detect stimuli by controlling muscle movement

• Sensory neurons detect stimuli by producing hormones

How do sensory neurons transmit information to the central nervous system?

• Magnetic fields

• Electrical signals

• Sound waves

• Chemical signals

What is the process of transmission of sensory information at the synapse?

• Osmosis

• Photosynthesis

• Mitosis

• Neurotransmission

How do sensory neurons contribute to the reflex arc?

• Sensory neurons are only found in the brain

• Sensory neurons control muscle movement

• Sensory neurons transmit sensory information to the central nervous system.

• Sensory neurons produce hormones in the body

Explain the involvement of sensory neurons in the withdrawal reflex.

• Sensory neurons control muscle movement

• Sensory neurons detect the stimulus and transmit the signal to the spinal cord.

• Sensory neurons are not involved in the withdrawal reflex

• Sensory neurons transmit signals to the brain instead of the spinal cord

What is the role of sensory neurons in the stretch reflex?

• Regulate blood pressure

• Initiate muscle contraction

• Produce hormones

• Detect changes in muscle length and transmit information to the central nervous system
