Match the descritpors in the left-hand column with the appropriate neuron type in the right-hand column.

Question 4 options:

123

peripheral neurons that 'motor' or drive changes in the secretory activity of glandular cells or contractile activity of muscle cells as determined necessary by the CNS

123

peripheral neurons that function to inform the central nervous system of things that are affecting the body

123

cells of the CNS that function to transmit information from location to location within the CNS

123

peripheral neurons aka 'motor' neurons that transmit information from the central nervous system to the periphery

123

central neurons whose entire cells lie within the brain or spinal cord

123

peripheral neurons whose cell bodies, but not whose entire cells lie outside of the CNS

123

peripheral neurons whose cell bodies but not their entire cells lie within the CNS

123

peripheral neurons that can be distinguished by the presence of true anatomic dendrites projecting directly from their cell bodies

123

peripheral neurons that transmit information from body surfaces to the central nervous

Explanation / Answer

peripheral neurons that 'motor' or drive changes in the secretory activity of glandular cells or contractile activity of muscle cells as determined necessary by the CNS-efferent

peripheral neurons that function to inform the central nervous system of things that are affecting the body-afferent

cells of the CNS that function to transmit information from location to location within the CNS-interneuron

peripheral neurons aka 'motor' neurons that transmit information from the central nervous system to the periphery-efferent

central neurons whose entire cells lie within the brain or spinal cord-interneurons

peripheral neurons whose cell bodies, but not whose entire cells lie outside of the CNS-efferent

peripheral neurons whose cell bodies but not their entire cells lie within the CNS-afferent

peripheral neurons that can be distinguished by the presence of true anatomic dendrites projecting directly from their cell bodies-efferent

peripheral neurons that transmit information from body surfaces to the central nervous-afferent
