Nervous System

Sensory Neurons

• the animal’s reaction to the stimulus

• nerve cells that detect stimuli

• nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs

Interneurons/Relay neurons

• nerve cells that detect stimuli

• a signal that causes an animal to react in some way

• nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs

• found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate

Motor neurons

• the animal’s reaction to the stimulus

• found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate

• nerve cells that detect stimuli

• nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs
