Question

Write the role of (a) motor and (b) relay neuron.

Hint:

Motor neurons carry impulses to muscles, while relay neurons act as connectors between sensory and motor neurons.

Answer 1

[(a)] Motor Neuron: The role of the motor neuron is to carry impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to the muscles or glands, which then execute the appropriate response. [(b)] Relay Neuron: Relay neurons, also known as interneurons, transmit impulses between sensory neurons and motor neurons in the central nervous system, facilitating communication within the body.
