Key learning points. Reflex responses are fast and involuntary, and are essential to the survival of many organisms. Reflex responses do not involve a processing centre (e.g. the brain) in the CNS. In a reflex arc, the nerve impulse travels across a synapse from the sensory neurone to a relay neurone in the CNS.
The sensory function of the nervous system derives from sensory receptors (sen′so-re re-sep′torz) at the ends of peripheral neurons (see chapter 10, p. 274). These recep-tors gather information by detecting changes inside and outside the body. Sensory receptors monitor external environmental factors, such as light and sound intensi-
19 sie 2023 · Depending on their intended use, scientists classify neurons into three main categories: sensory, motor, and interneurons. Sensory neurons Physical and chemical signals from your surroundings activate sensory neurons. Physical inputs include touch, heat, light, and sound.

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 input is when the body gathers information or data, by way of neurons, glia and synapses. The nervous system is composed of excitable nerve cells (neurons) and synapses that form between the neurons and connect them to centers throughout the body or to other neurons.
There are three different kinds of neurons or nerve cells. Match each kind with its function. A. Motor neuron B. Sensory neuron C. Relay neuron; Kind of neuron Function ..... The nerve cell that carries impulses from a sense receptor to the brain or spinal cord. ..... The nerve cell that connects sensory and motor neurons .....
