The diagram shows a cell.

What type of cell is shown?

• ciliated cell

• motor neurone

• sensory neurone

The diagram shows a neurone carrying an impulse.

Which row describes the type of neurone and the direction of impulse?

Which choice describes the type of neurone and the direction of impulse?

• type of neurone = motor; direction of impulse = towards the spinal cord

• type of neurone = motor; direction of impulse = away from the spinal cord

• type of neurone = sensory; direction of impulse = towards the spinal cord

• type of neurone = sensory; direction of impulse = away from the spinal cord
