Accesories of the Afferent Division of the Nervous system Correct Answer-1. Receptors - detects stimuli 2. Sensory neurons - relays sensory information towards the CNS *receives input from dendrites, uses axon to send it to CNS* 3. Sensory pathways - nerves, nuclei, and tracts that deliver sensory information to the CNS Accesories of the Efferent Division of the Nervous system Correct Answer-1. Nuclei - contain cell bodies of motor neurons 2. Motor neurons - send commands to effect...

Afferent Division - ️️approaches CNS; carries sensory info; from PNS sensory receptors to CNS Neurons - ️️the basic functional units of the nervous system; cells that send and receive signals Peripheral Nervous System - ️️includes all neural tissue outside the CNS; delivers sensory info to the CNS and carry motor commands from the CNS to peripheral tissues and systems The Nervous System - ️️made of neurons and neuroglia cells; includes all neural tissue in the body Neuro...

OCCTH 585 Neuro Questions and Answers Already Passed Information flows through neurons from ____ to ____ in the neuron dendrite; axon _____ bring a cell to threshold while _____ bring a cell further from threshold EPSPs; IPSPs What 3 main things is neuroplasticity capable of? - changing the properties of neurotransmission - changes in cell properties - structural/ anatomical changes of cells How does neuroplasticity change the properties of neurotransmission? (2) - change in tra...

USABO OPEN EXAM 2024 WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS Why is myelin important in the nervous system? A. It allows signals to travel faster along axons because depolarization occurs only at myelinated locations. B. It allows signals to travel faster along axons because depolarization occurs only at nonmyelinated locations. C. It bundles the dendrites of adjacent neurons together. D. It increases capacitance across the cell membrane, which helps electrical signals to leave the axons. E. It tr...
