14 cze 2020 · A sensory neuron (sometimes referred to as an afferent neuron) is a nerve cell that detects and responds to external signals. Sensory neurons receive information via their receptors, which are part of the peripheral nervous system, and convert this information into electrical impulses.
Sensory neuron, nerve cell that carries information about changes in external and internal environments to the central nervous system (CNS). Such neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system, which lies outside the brain and spinal cord. They collect information from so-called sensory.
Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are neurons in the nervous system, that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded receptor potentials. [1]
28 sie 2024 · Sensory receptors are specialized cells (neuronal or nonneuronal) which detect and respond to specific stimuli from the external environment and/or within the body, converting them into electrical signals for interpretation by the nervous system.
Sensory neurons form the afferent sensory pathway of the central nervous system. These cells arise from the dorsal root ganglion. The dorsal root ganglion is a cluster of nerve cells that are present in the dorsal root of the spinal cord (area just outside the spinal cord).
