View Full Document. Neuron - A specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system. Dendrites â In a neuron, the branch-like extensions of the cell body that receive signals from other neurons. Synapse â The junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron across the synaptic cleft.
A nerve is a bundle of axons. A sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses from a sense receptor such as those in the eye or ear to the brain or spinal cord. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland.A relay neuron connects sensory and motor neurons and is found in the brain or spinal cord (see diagrams 14.1 and 14.2).iagram 14.1 - A motor neuron. The cell body of neurons is usually located in the brain or spinal cord while the axon extends the whole distance to the organ that it supplies. The neuron carrying impulses from the spinal cord to the hind leg or tail of a horse, for example, can be several feet long.
