For treatment of later outbreaks of genital herpes, after the first infection, the acyclovir dosage is 200 mg five times a day (about every four hours) for five days, starting at the first signs of an outbreak. The earlier the medication is started, the better it works.
They connect receptors to the central nervous system and also connect one part of the nervous system to another, for example in the brain and spinal cord. They also carry impulses from the nervous system to effector organs, such as muscles and glands. When neurons are stimulated they transmit an electrical impulse.
Interneurons connect sensory and motor neurons and interpret the impulse. Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands. 1  Draw and label the structure of a typical nerve cell. 2  Explain how an impulse moves along a neural pathway.
