Chapter 24, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ways in which sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons work together in an insect.
Introduction:
The function of the nervous system includes rapid communication by chemical and electrical signals. Neurons are the cells which help in communication either with one another or with muscles and glands. Neurons have three basic parts: a rounded cell body containing a nucleus, short fibers called dendrites, and long nerve fiber called axon.
