Question

nervous system

• the body’s speedy, electrochemical communication system
• network of interconnected nerve cells/nerve fibers
• ____________: input to the __________________
• ________: output from the brain/spinal cord to _____________
• ____________: transmit ___________________ other neurons.
• consists of all the nerve cells of the _______________ and

_______________ nervous systems

Explanation:

These blanks relate to the classification of neurons and the two main divisions of the nervous system. Sensory neurons carry input to the central nervous system (brain/spinal cord). Motor neurons send output from the brain/spinal cord to muscles/glands. Interneurons transmit signals between other neurons. The nervous system is split into the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Answer:

• Sensory neurons: input to the brain/spinal cord (central nervous system)
• Motor neurons: output from the brain/spinal cord to muscles and glands
• Interneurons: transmit signals between other neurons.
• Consists of all the nerve cells of the central and peripheral nervous systems
