What type of neuron that interpretes message and sends out command?

That would be an interneuron otherwise known as an associative neuron.


What part of the neuron sends information to others?

The axon of a neuron is the part that sends information to other neurons or cells in the body. It transmits electrical signals known as action potentials from the cell body to the axon terminals where communication with other neurons occurs.


Where does a motor neuron send its message?

A motor neuron sends its message, in the form of an electrical signal called an action potential, to a specific muscle to stimulate contraction. This signal travels down the neuron's axon to its terminal branches, where neurotransmitters are released to activate the muscle fibers.


How does reflex occur?

This is what happens:a receptor detects a stimulus (change in the environment)a sensory neuron sends a signal to the relay neuronthe relay neuron sends the signal to the motor neuronthe motor neuron sends a signal to the affected partthe affected part produces a response


Trace how a message is passed from one neuron to another?

A neuron sends a message, or neurotransmitter, to the muscle cell to tell it what to do. To get the message, the receiving cell must have a receptor. Oddly, the unstable protein rapsyn is responsible for anchoring the receptor so it's properly positioned to catch the message.


How does neuronal firing cause muscle contraction?

When a neuron in a muscle is fired, or triggered, it sends a message to the brain telling the muscle to contract.


What is the junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates?

The question isn't clear enough. Does it mean the part that sends info. through the neuron (the axon)? Or does it mean the part that sends information to other neurons (the synapse)?


What part of the body sends a message to the brain?

The nervous system sends messages to the brain through neurons. Neurons transmit electrical impulses from different parts of the body to the brain, allowing for communication and coordination of bodily functions.


What is the importance of a neuron?

A neuron sends messages from your brain to your body


Which is the last part of the neuron to be involved in the transmission of a neural impulse towards the next neuron?

Signalling ALONG a neuron is electrical, but signalling BETWEEN neurons is a chemical process. Neuron A 'passes' a message onto the next by releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters , which are then taken up by neuron B. The point at which these neurotransmitters are released from the neuron A is called the 'terminal bouton' and is the end of its axon. More specifically, it is the presynaptic membrane OF the terminal bouton at which the passing on of a message occurs.


What is an intermediate neuron?

A intermediate neurone sends the message to the brain saying danger and then the brain tells the motor neurons to react from Ryan Thomas Sylvester
