Biology 5.1.2 Flashcards
What is an ‘Involuntary Response’?
A Response that does not involve the Conscious part of the Brain as the Coordinator of the Reaction.
A ___ Neurone sends Electrical Impulses to the Coordinator. (After the Stimulus).
Sensory.
From the Coordinator, an Electrical Impulse is passed to a ___ Neurone.
Relay.
A Relay Neurone ___ with a ___ Neurone.
Synapses, Motor.
A ___ Neurone carries an Impulse to the Effector.
Motor.
What are the 3 main types of Neurone in a Reflex Arc, and what do they do? (3)
-Sensory Neurone: Carries Impulses from Sense Organs to the CNS.
-Relay Neurone: Found inside the CNS, & Connect Sensory & Motor Neurones.
-Motor Neurone: Carries Impulses from the CNS to Effectors.
What do Sensory Neurones have Branching off the Middle of the Axon?
A Cell Body.
Sensory Neurones are ___.
Long.
Relay Neurones are ___.
Short.
What do Relay Neurons have at one end?
A Small Cell Body with many Dendrites Branching off it.
Motor Neurones are ___.
Long.
What do Motor Neurones have at one end?
A Large Cells Body with Long Dendrites Branching off it.
Neurones never touch each other. They are Separated by junctions (gaps) called…
Synapses.
Electrical Impulses cannot cross over ___.
Synapses.
Where are there Synapses located in a Reflex Arc? (2)
-Between the Sensory & Relay Neurones.
-Between the Relay & Motor Neurones.
