Neurons & Synaptic Transmission

Cards (3)

  • What is the function of a sensory neuron?
    The function of a sensory neuron is to transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
  • What is the function of a relay neuron?

    Relay neurons receive impulses from sensory neurons and carry these messages to either other relay neurons or to motor neurons, allowing sensory and motor neurons to communicate with each other.
  • What is the function of a motor neuron?

    The function of a motor neuron is to transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary movement or secretion.
