What carries impulses from the skin to the central nervous system?
A pseudo-unipolar neuron referred to as an afferent neuron carries a sensory impulse to the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system.A pseudo-unipolar neuron has one axon which comes from the cell body (soma) and then splits into two branches, the peripheral axonal branch which carries the impulse from the skin, and the central axonal branch which carries the impulse to the spinal cord; it has no dendrites, which distinguishes it from a bipolar neuron.The impulse moves along the peripheral branch and then to the central branch, skipping the soma.
What are the major divisions of the the central nervous system?
Central & Peripheral Edit: I don't think the last person read the entire question. Central (CNS) and Peripheral (PNS) are the two major divisions of the nervous system but the question is asking specifically about the central. Two major division of the central nervous system (structurally) are White matter and Gray matter.

The nervous system is divided into which two subsystems?
The Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous system
What are the two distinct branches in the nervous system?
The central nervous system (composed of the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (composed of the rest).
How is the central nervous system differ from the peripheral nervous system?
Describe how the central nervous system differs from the peripheral nervous system. pen is
Is a association neuron unipolar?
No, an association neuron (also known as an interneuron) is not unipolar. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, while association neurons have multiple processes (dendrites and axons). Association neurons are responsible for connecting sensory and motor neurons in the central nervous system.
What are central vision fringe vision and peripheral vision?
Central vision refers to when eyes are focused straight ahead. Peripheral vision refers to vision that occurs outside your central sight of vision. Fringe vision refers to the edge of your peripheral vision.
