- The Neuron. The neuron, a nerve cell, is the functional unit of the nervous system that carries the impulse (the message) to the appropriate part of the nervous system or interprets the impulse and allows a response. There are three types of neurons and each has different functions.) motor neurons —carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands. The Response Mechanism. When a stimulus is received by a sensory neuron, the impulse (or message) is carried through fibrous extensions called dendrites to the cell body.

The Nervous System Sensory Neurons- Sensory neurons carry electrical signals (impulses) from receptors or sense organs to the CNS. Sensory neurons are also called afferent neurons. The cell body of sensory neurons is outside the CNS in ganglia. Motor Neurons- Motor neurons carry impulses from the CNS to effector organs Motor neurons are also called efferent neurons.

neuron Those that carry impulses in the opposite direction, away from the brain and other nerve centers to muscles, are called efferent neurons, motor neurons, or motoneurons. Another type, the interneuron, found in the brain and spinal cord, conducts impulses from afferent to efferent neurons.here are many types of neurons within the nervous system; some transmit afferent nerve impulses to the brain (e.g. those carrying information from the photoreceptors to the visual cortex), or to the spinal cord (e.g. those carrying information from the receptors in the skin to the spinal cord).

- Muscle and nerve tissue and physiology: Neurons and muscle cells have much in common, in that they both are excitable, conduct electric impulses by allowing sodium ions to enter and potassium ions to exit, and both function by allowing calcium ions to move back and forth across membranes.&P I Muscle Physiology. Compare the connective tissue coverings of the muscles with those of the nerves. The extensions of epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium into tendons are called epitendinium, etc. Nerves also contain fascicles (fasciculi), which are covered by perineurium, and contain neurons.

Neuron The neuron (nerve cell) is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. The basic purpose of a neuron is to receive incoming information and, based upon that information, send a signal to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Neurons are designed to rapidly send signals across physiologically long distances. They do this using electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of a chemical, or neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter travels rapidly across the short gap between cells (the synapse) and acts to signal the adjacent cell.

What Are the Neurons That Carry Impulses Toward the Spinal Cord and Brain? Both motor neurons and sensory neurons are found in the peripheral nervous system, the network of nerves that travels throughout the body. While sensory neurons relay signals to the brain, motor neurons carry messages from the brain to the rest of the body. Related Questions.

- Motor neurons' axons are efferent nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord to the effectors to produce effects. Types of motor neurons are alpha motor neurons, beta motor neurons, and gamma motor neurons. motor neuron (or motoneuron) is a nerve cell (neuron) whose cell body is located in the spinal cord and whose fiber (axon) projects outside the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands.
