Question

2.2 there are two types of neurons, namely sensory neurons and motor neurons 2.3 use the table below to identify the different type of neurons and state their function. type function

Explanation:

• Sensory Neuron:
• Structure Identification: Typically has a long dendrite (the branched part at the top in the first neuron diagram) and a cell body with a single axon. The dendrites receive signals from sensory receptors (like in skin, eyes, etc.).
• Function: Transmits nerve impulses from sensory receptors (in sense organs or body tissues) to the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord). For example, if you touch a hot surface, sensory neurons carry the "hot" signal to the CNS.
• Motor Neuron:
• Structure Identification: Has a cell body with multiple dendrites (the branched part near the cell body in the second neuron diagram) and a long axon that connects to effectors (like muscles or glands).
• Function: Transmits nerve impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to effectors (muscles or glands) to initiate a response. For example, after the CNS processes the "hot" signal, motor neurons send signals to muscles to move your hand away from the hot surface.

Answer:

TYPE	FUNCTION
Motor Neuron	Transmits impulses from the central nervous system to effectors (muscles/glands) to produce a response.
