ANATOMY 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 28: East Los Angeles College, Multipolar Neuron, Peripheral Nervous System
Document Summary
Dendrites come together to form axon that runs whole length of neuron; typical sensory neurons find them in the peripheral nervous system bringing information from part of body into spinal cord or brain. Long as it up your toe to your spinal cord. Taller people- may be a foot longer than short people. Bipolar neuron impulse travels through nerve cell body. Special sensory neurons you find in the retina of eye and in your olfactory mechanism- olfaction means smell found in top of our nasal passages carrying information from atmosphere of nasal passages into your head. Specialized sensory neuron in specialized senses, not too many in the body. Multipolar neuron can also be quite long. Motor neuron carrying info from cns out to some muscle or gland. Dendrites & nerve cell body really inside the cns; axon can go to the muscles in the toes. Found inside cns found in brain, spinal cord.
