Neurons carrying nerve impulses toward the CNS are neurons while neurons carrying nerve impulses from the CNS to the periphery are neurons.

2. These neurons bring impulses to the CNS

The type of neuron that takes nerve impulses away from the central nervous system is a(n) neuron.

Which of the following accurately describes the direction of an impulse moving through a neuron that carries information to the central nervous system (CNS) from the peripheral nervous system (PNS)?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A)   An afferent neuron, impulse moving distally.AAn afferent neuron, impulse moving distally.(Choice B)   An efferent neuron, impulse moving proximally.BAn efferent neuron, impulse moving proximally.(Choice C)   An efferent neuron, impulse moving distally.CAn efferent neuron, impulse moving distally.(Choice D)   An afferent neuron, impulse moving proximally.DAn afferent neuron, impulse moving proximally.

Read the following statements about the transmission of nerve impulse and select the correct ones. (i) In a neuron, nerve impulse travels from the axonal end to the dendritic end as:Axonal end → Axon → Cell body → Dendritic end.(ii) The chemicals released from the axonal end of one neuron cross the synapse and generate a similar electrical impulse in the dendrite of another neuron.(iii) A neuron transmits the nerve impulses not only to another neuron but also to the muscle cells and gland cells.(iv) The neurotransmitter released at the post-synaptic membrane, diffuses across the synapse and comes into contact with the chemoreceptor sites in the pre-synaptic membrane.

Which nerves transmit impulses from the central nervous system towards muscle cells?A Sensory nerves B Motor nerves C Relay nerves D Cranial nerves
