Question 1

Motor neurone

Answer 1

Carries nerve impulses from the relay neurone to the effector organs

Question 2

Stimulus

Answer 6

Carries nerve impulses from the sense organs to the central nervous system

Question 7

Synapse

Answer 7

This is the gap between two nerves

Question 8

Neurotransmitter

Answer 8
