The Gap between neurons and are essential to the transmission of nervous impulses from one neuron to another.
Synapse
15
Part of the Neurons also called Soma, which contain the nucleus.
Cell body
15
Part of the Neurons which receive and carry information toward the cell body.
Dendrites
15
Long, taillike fiber that extends from the cell body – carries messages away from the cell body.
Axons
15
The information carried by neuronsto the brain are called.
Nerve Impulses
15
Type of neurons that are called afferent neurons because their function is to receive initial stimuli from the sense organs, where most of the receptors are located.
Sensory Neurons
15
Type of neurons that are found within brain and spinal cord, process incoming impulses and pass them on to motor neurons.
Interneurons
15
Type of neurons that are called efferent, transmit impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the effector cells, which may be those muscles, organs, glands.
