Interneurons, which are found only in the CNS, connect one neuron to another. They receive information from other neurons (either sensory neurons or interneurons) and transmit …

In this video, I want to provide an overview of neuron function, which I think of sort of like how a gun functions. And we'll go into a lot more detail on how a neuron functions in later videos.

The only type of neuron which is limited to a specific system, are the interneurons (which is a functional category, not a structural) which are only found in the central nervous system.

A synapse can only function effectively if there is some way to "turn off" the signal once it's been sent. Termination of the signal lets the postsynaptic cell return to its normal resting potential, …

Jun 18, 2016 · Maintaining homeostasis at each level is key to maintaining the body's overall function. So, how is homeostasis maintained? Let's answer this question by looking at some …

Many different types, broadly categorized with respect to their shape or their function. Motor neurons, interneurons (AKA relay neurons) and sensory neurons are the traditional …

These neurons transmit this information to the CNS, where interneurons decipher it and then pass instructions along motor neurons to the parts of your body where an action is required such as …

Sensory neurons carry impulses from sense organs, such as the eyes or ears. Motor neurons carry impulses to muscles and glands. Interneurons transfer signals between sensory and …
