Study Notes
Neuron Structure and Function
- Dendrites in neurons receive signals from other neurons and carry them to the cell body.
Types of Neurons
- Sensory neurons (also known as afferent neurons) carry impulses from sense organs to the brain and spinal cord.
Neuron Components
- The main parts of a neuron are the dendrites, cell body, axon, and terminals.
Motor Neuron Function
- Motor neurons (also known as efferent neurons) transmit impulses from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, enabling response to stimuli.
Neuron Role in the Nervous System
- The basic function of neurons in the nervous system is to receive, integrate, and transmit information, allowing for communication between different parts of the body.
