The motor neurone
receives nerve
impulses from the
relay neurone of the
central nervous
system and
transmits them to
an effector such as
muscles or glands
for an appropriate
response
To generate the
required energy
needed for the
transmission of
nerve impulses
Electrical impulses are transmitted through the synapse
chemically, by means of neurotransmitters.

The transmission of nerve impulses is

slowed down because there are no
Ranvier nodes.
Reflex action is defined as a quick and automatic response that does not
involve thinking.
Reflex action is important to protect ourselves from threatening situations and
guarantees survival in the ever-changing environment
  The condition may be due to the
presence of sensory neurones at the
amputated part.
 Therefore, the neurotransmitters
secreted by the sensory neurones at
the amputated part
 trigger nerve impulses and are
interpreted by the brain as pain

The patient forgets easily and loses his/her sense of direction even in familiar
places. If the brain degeneration continues, he/she will lose the ability to
read, write, eat, walk and speak.

Drugs speed up or slow down

impulse transmission at the
synapse by obstructing the action
of substances that transmit
synapse.
To reduce nausea and pain of the patient

Alcohol impairs the brain’s ability

to estimate distance while driving,
and to coordinate

Glands secrete hormones (chemical substances)
Endocrine glands : ductless

Hormones blood flow

Hormones specific target cells

Functions : reproduction, growth &

homeostasis

stimulating hormone  Act on directly on target Hypothalamus  GnRH

regulates the secretion of organs GnRH  pituitary gland 
