Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interneurons are the association neurons that integrate or interpret the sensory signals between the sensory and motor neurons.

Answer: B
 Synapse refers to the junction between two neurons or between a neuron and a target cell, where signals are transmitted.

Answer: C
 Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from the sensory receptors to the central nervous system.

Answer: D
 Synaptic knobs are the enlarged ends of axon terminals that contain neurotransmitters and release them into the synapse.

Answer: E
 Dendrites are the branched extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.

Answer: F
 Axon is a long, thin extension of a neuron that sends signals to other neurons or target cells.

Answer: G
 Motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands.

Answer: I
 Ion channels are the proteins that control the flow of ions across the neuron's membrane to generate an electrical signal.

Answer: J
 Excitatory synapse is the type of synapse that increases the likelihood of generating an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron.

Answer: A
 Inhibitory synapse is the type of synapse that decreases the likelihood of generating an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron.
