Question

Action potentials are propagated down the length of an axon via both passive and active membrane properties. The rate at which the action potential travels is variable and depends on axon diameter and myelin. DIAGNOSTIC CLINICAL REASONING 5.2 G.B., Part Il Because of the damage to his myelin, he has sensory and motor impairments in his limbs. G.B.5: Light touch sensation is impaired throughout GB's and face. What types of neurons transmit sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system (CNS)? G.B. 6: He is paralyzed. What types of neurons transmit motor signals from the CNS to the muscles? body DIRECTION OF INFORMATION FLOW IN NEURONS Normally, information within a neuron is propagated in only ne direction. Depending on its role in the direction of informa- ion transfer, a neuron falls into one of three functional groups:
Diagnostic clinical reasoning

Answer 1

Ans GB5- Sensory neurons have a long dendrite and short axon, and carry messages from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.

Motor neurons have a long axon and short dendrites and transmit messages from the central nervous system to the muscles.

G56- Motor neurons carry signals from CNS to outer parts ie muscles skin glands.
