Typical Neural Communication Flashcards
What is the first step of typical neural communication
Receptor site receive sensory input
What is the second step of typical neural communication
Sensory neurons carry sensory messages along afferent pathways in the spinal cord to the brain
Step three of a typical neural communication
The brain coordinates a response
Step 4 of a typical neural communication
Interneurons relay the message to motor neurons (efferent neurons)
Step 5 of the typical neural communication
Motor neurons carry the motor message along efferent pathways in the spinal cord to the body
Step 6 of the typical neural communication
The effector site has a response
What is a spinal reflex
The spinal reflex is an automatic response to protect us from damage that is initiated by neuron’s in the spinal cord, instead of the brain
