Cards (10)

  • what do dendrites and dendrons do?
    carry impulses towards the cell body (axons carry them away)
  • what is a mylein sheath?
    it surrounds axon, they act as an electrical insulator, speeding up the electrical impulse
  • what do the cell body of the neurone have?
    has extensions that connect to other neurones
  • in terms of neurones, how does the size affect the speed of an impulse?
    1 long neurone is much quicker than many short ones joined together
  • what is the structure of a sensory neurone?
    1 long dendron carries nerve impulses from receptor cells to the cell body which is located in the middle of the neurone, 1 short axon carries nerve impulses from the cell body to the CNS
  • what is the structure of a sensory neurone?
    many short dendrites carry nerve impulses from the CNS to the cell body. 1 long axon carries nerve impulses from the cell body to the effector cells
  • what is the structure of a relay neurone?
    many short dendrites carry nerve impulses from sensory neurones to the cell body. An axon carries nerve impulses from the cell body to motor neurones
  • which neurone has this structure: 1 long dendron carries nerve impulses from receptor cells to the cell body, which is located in the middle of the neurone. 1 short axon carries nerve impulses fro, the cell body to the CNS
    sensory
  • which neurone has this structure: many short dendrites carry nerve impulses from the CNS to the cell body. 1 long axon carries nerve impulses from the cell body to the CNS
    motor
  • which neurone has this structure: many short dendrites carry nerve impulses from sensory neurones to the cell body. An axon carries nerve impulses from the cell body to motor neurones
