Structure and Function of Different Types of Neurons
Group 1
Question 1a
Motor neurons
Interneurons
Sensory neurons
Glial cells
Question 1b
To process information within the central nervous system
To transmit signals from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles and glands
To detect changes in the environment
To support and protect neurons
Question 1c
They connect sensory and motor neurons and are involved in reflexes.
They are responsible for transmitting sensory information to the brain.
They directly stimulate muscle contraction.
They form the myelin sheath around axons.
Question 1d
A long axon and multiple dendrites
A single long dendrite and a short axon
Multiple axons and no dendrites
No axon and multiple dendrites
Question 1e
To receive signals from other neurons
To transmit signals away from the cell body
To integrate sensory information
To support and nourish the neuron
Question 1f
Motor neurons
Sensory neurons
Interneurons
Glial cells
Question 1g
Axon
Dendrites
Cell body
Myelin sheath
Question 1h
To increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction
To store neurotransmitters
To generate electrical impulses
To connect neurons to blood vessels
Question 1i
Motor neurons
Sensory neurons
Interneurons
All of the above
Question 1j
Unipolar neurons have one process extending from the cell body, while multipolar neurons have multiple processes.
Unipolar neurons are found only in the brain, while multipolar neurons are found in the spinal cord.
Unipolar neurons are sensory neurons, while multipolar neurons are motor neurons.
Unipolar neurons are involved in voluntary actions, while multipolar neurons are involved in involuntary actions.
Question 1k
They have a long axon.
They transmit signals to muscles.
They have a short dendrite.
They receive sensory input directly.
Question 1l
Axon
Dendrite
Cell body
Myelin sheath
Question 1m
Sensory neuron
Motor neuron
Interneuron
All of the above
Question 1n
To transmit signals from the central nervous system to effectors
To process information within the brain
To detect and transmit sensory information to the central nervous system
To form the blood-brain barrier
Question 1o
To transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body
To receive and integrate signals from other neurons
To protect the neuron from damage
To store neurotransmitters
Question 1p
Sensory neurons
Motor neurons
Interneurons
Glial cells
Question 1q
Bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite, while multipolar neurons have one axon and multiple dendrites.
Bipolar neurons are only found in the spinal cord, while multipolar neurons are found in the brain.
Bipolar neurons are sensory neurons, while multipolar neurons are interneurons.
Bipolar neurons are involved in voluntary actions, while multipolar neurons are involved in involuntary actions.
Question 1r
Sensory neurons
Motor neurons
Interneurons
Glial cells
Question 1s
They have long axons that extend outside the central nervous system.
They are typically multipolar and found within the central nervous system.
They directly connect to sensory receptors.
They form the myelin sheath around axons.
Question 1t
To receive signals from other neurons
To transmit signals to the next neuron or effector
To generate electrical impulses
To protect the neuron from damage
