neurons Flashcards
structure of motor neuron
dendrites come off of the cell body, long axon with myelin sheaths and axon terminals at the end which connect to the effector.
order of impulse in the motor neuron
enter at dendrites - cell body - goes through axon ]- and exits through axon terminals
structure of sensory neuron
dendrites which connect to the receptor cell - long axon with myelin sheaths, cell body located in middle of axon - axon terminals
order of impulse in sensory neuron
dendrites - axon - cell body - axon - axon terminals
structure of inter/relay neuron
dendrites ‘above’ the cell body, axon with no myelin sheaths + less long, axon terminals
order of impulse in inter/relay neuron
dendrites - cell body - axon - axon terminals
what happens in the synapse
The electrical message is converted into a chemical message which is transferred across the synaptic gap by the neurotransmitter chemical.
