how do interneurons transfer messages?

its for science homework i have no idea!

    Connecting Neurons or interneurons, transfer messages within the CNS and Motor Neurons transfer messages from the CNS to the effectors organs such as muscles.

    An interneuron, also known as an associated neuron, is a neuron located entirely within the central nervous system that conducts signals between neurons. The central nervous system consists of nerve cells within the brain and spinal cord, as opposed to the peripheral nervous system, which is completely composed of nerve cells outside the spinal cord and brain. An interneuron acts as a middle-man between neurons, allowing efferent neurons, afferent neurons, and other interneurons to communicate with one another.

    A neuron is a type of cell specialized to receive and transmit nerve impulses in the nervous system. The information brought to the central nervous system through afferent, or sensory, neurons relays information about sensations experienced on or within the body, such as pressure, pain, and temperature, amongst other sensations. Efferent neurons, conversely, take signals from the central nervous system out into the body. For example, if a person touches her hand to a hot stove, afferent neurons will carry sensory impulses from the hand to the central nervous system, registering pain. After processing the impulse, the central nervous system sends a message back to the body through efferent motor neurons to move the hand.

  • Internuerons are involved in reflexes, they can serve to link sensory nerves to motor nerves and bypass the CNS. They transfer the message by receiving an action potential and sending an additional action potential to the motor neuron.

  • Inter-neurons form a bridge between the sensory neurone and motor neurone in a reflex arc.

    When a action potential (ie. impulse) reaches the end of a sensory neurone, neurotransmitters (neurone chemicals such as ACh) are released and travel across the synapse via diffusion, and binds to receptors on the membrane of the inter-neurone.

    This causes sodium ions in the membrane of the inter-neurone to open, allowing sodium to flow into the neurone, causing the membrane of the axon to become depolarised, creating another action potential (impulse) that travels along the neurone.

    The process is repeated when the action potential reaches the end of the inter-neurone and needs to cross the synapse to the motor neurone.

  • lol i think i know whats going on here :-) open up the message and press options. save the picture. when you get the new phone ask verizon to transfer everything like contacts and stuff. i know the pictures go over, and so do the contacts. As for the text, forward it to someone you trust, get the new phone, then have them forward it back to you. if you want the entire pic message than you can do the same thing with that too.
