Q

What are the 3 main types of Neurone in a Reflex Arc, and what do they do? (3)

A

-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.

Q

Chemicals called ___ are Released into the ___, and Diffuse across it.

A

Neurotransmitters, Synapses.

17
Q

How do Electrical Impulses cross over Synapses?

A

Via Neurotransmitters. They Stimulate the second Neurone to Generate an Electrical Impulse that travels down the second Axon.

18
Q

Why don’t Relay Neurons have Myelin Sheaths?

A

Because they don’t carry Electrical Impulses over Long enough Distances to warrant the need for one.

19
Q

Explain the Reflex Arc that Occurs when you touch something Hot? (6)

A

-Stimulus (heat) Triggers Receptors in the Skin of your Hand.

-Receptor Sends Electrical Impulse to CNS Via Sensory Neurone.

-Sensory Neurone reaches a Synapse & Needs to Pass it. Neurotransmitter Chemical is Released, & it Passes the Electrical Impulse to a Relay Neurone.

-Relay Neurone Carries Electrical Impulse to another Synapse. Once again, a Chemical is Released, & it Passes the Electrical Impulse to a Motor Neurone.

-Motor Neurone Carries the Electrical Impulse to the Effector, which in this case, is an Arm Muscle.

-The Arm Muscle Contracts, & Pulls the Hand Away from the Hot Object. This is Called the Response.
