Answer 1

Sensory neurones
Motor neurones
Relay neurones

Question 2

What does a sensory neurone do?

Answer 2

Carry’s impulses to the central nervous system

Question 3

What does a motor neurone do?

Answer 3

Carry impulses from the central nervous systems to the effector organs

Question 4

What do the relay neurones do?

Answer 4

Carries impulses from one part of the central nervous system to another’s

Question 5

What do dendrons do in the sensory neurone?

Answer 5

Carries impulses towards cell body

Question 6

What does the axon do in a sensory neurone?

Answer 6

Carries impulses away from cell body

Question 7

What does the fatty myelin sweat do in a sensory neurone?

Answer 7

Insulates the neurone

Question 8

What does the nerve ending do in a motor neurone?

Answer 8

Transmits the impulse to an effector

Question 9

How does the electrical impulse travel?

Answer 9

Jumps from one gap in the myelin sheath to the next

Question 10
