Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
What transmission of the depolarization wave along the neurons membrane?
Action potential
What functional differences are there among sensory motor and associative neurons?
Sensory neurons are specialized to translate many forms of input (light waves, sound waves, tissue displacement, molecules suspended in air or dissolved in saliva, and so on) into action potentials. Motor neurons carry commands to glands and muscles. Association neurons have neither specific sensory nor motor functions, but rather form bridges between the sensory and motor neurons.
Why is the action potential generated in neurons only?
may be there are specific arrangement of sodium and potassium ion channels in neurons which is not found in any other cell andthis arrangement is necessary for action potential generation but i am ot sure what kind of arrangement is needed for action potential generation and what kind is presentr in neurons and other cells .
What type of membrane transport causes the depolarization phase of the action potential in neurons?
Diffusion

Which cell conducts an action potential?
neurons
What are relay neurons?
An interneuron (also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) is a neuron that forms a connection between other neurons. Interneurons are neither motor nor sensory.

What is usually the sites of the initial action potential in neurons?
Axon hillocks
Why does the nerve action potential increase slightly when you add 1.0 V to the threshold voltage and stimulate nerve?
The action potential increases slightly because more neurons are being stimulated.
Why is numbness experienced after eating puffer fish?
TTX (the poison in pufferfish) inhibits neurons that transmit sensory information to the brain. Since TTX prevents the generation of action potentials in sensory nerves, the ability of the neurons to transmit sensory information will be inhibited. This loss of sensory information would be experienced as a "numbness" in areas exposed to the toxin.
What are the three types of neurone involved in a reflex action?
The three types of neurons are sensory(afferant) neurons, interneurons, and motor(efferant) neurons. Sensory, or afferent, neurons send information from the receptor to the central nervouse system. Interneurons, found only in the central nervous system, play the role of interpretting the impulse. The motor, or efferent, neurons send the information from the central nervous system to the effector. Receptor->sensory neuron->interneuron->motor neuron->effector.
Do action potential transmission is faster in myelinated neurons?
TRUE. Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.
What are the conducting cells that can produce and propagate an action potential for communication throughtout the body?
neurons
