Biopsychology: Structure & Function of Sensory, Motor & Relay Neurons Flashcards
Which neuron is only found in the brain/visual system and spinal cord?
Relay neurons
Which neuron carries nerve impulses from the brain/spinal cord to muscles/glands?
Motor Neurons
Which neuron carries nerve impulses between neurons?
Relay Neurons
Which neuron is this?
Motor Neuron
Which neuron is this?
Relay Neurons
Which neuron is this?
Sensory Neuron
Name A B and C
A - Sensory
B- Relay
C- Motor
C - Towards the brain
Where are sensory neurons located?
In the Peripheral Nervous System in clusters known as ganglia
Sensory Neurons send information
from the senses (PNS) towards the brain (CNS)
Where are sensory neuron receptors found?
Eyes, ears, tongue and skin
This type of neuron has long dendrites and short axons.
Sensory Neurons
This type of neuron has short dendrites, short axons and no myelin sheath.
Relay Neurons
This neuron has no myelin sheath.
Relay neurons
This neuron has short dendrites and long axons.
Motor neurons
