Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of neuron carries signals from sensory receptors to the spinal cord?
  • Step 1: Understand what a neuron is. Neurons are cells in the nervous system that send and receive signals.
  • Step 2: Identify the role of sensory receptors. Sensory receptors are special cells that detect stimuli (like touch, sound, or light).
  • Step 3: Learn about sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are a type of neuron that carries signals from sensory receptors.
  • Step 4: Know where these signals go. Sensory neurons send these signals to the spinal cord.
  • Step 5: Recognize the importance of this process. This action helps initiate a reflex arc, which is a quick response to stimuli.
