Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a table with three kinds of neurons:
A. Motor neuron
B. Sensory neuron
C. Relay neuron
And we have three functions to match:
1. “The nerve cell that carries impulses from a sense receptor to the brain or spinal cord”
→ This is describing a
sensory neuron. It takes information FROM your senses (like touch, sight, sound) TO the central nervous system (brain/spinal cord).
2. “The nerve cell that connects sensory and motor neurons”
→ This is a
relay neuron (also called an interneuron). It sits in the middle — it receives signals from sensory neurons and passes them on to motor neurons. Often found in the brain and spinal cord.
3. “The nerve cell that transmits impulses from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland”
→ This is a
motor neuron. It carries commands FROM the brain/spinal cord TO muscles or glands to make something happen (like moving your arm or releasing sweat).
So let’s fill in the table:
| Kind of neuron | Function |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| B. Sensory neuron | The nerve cell that carries impulses from a sense receptor to the brain or spinal cord |
| C. Relay neuron | The nerve cell that connects sensory and motor neurons |
| A. Motor neuron | The nerve cell that transmits impulses from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland |
Final Answer:
B → first function
C → second function
A → third function
