Sensory neuron
1. (a) State the function of a sensory neuron.
......................................................................................................................................................
......................................................................................................................................................
(b) Use words from the list
to label the diagram of a
sensory neuron.
List: cell body; axon;
dendrite; axon branches;
nucleus

Sending an impulse
2. Complete the following flow chart about the transmission of messages in the nervous system
by inserting words from the list.

List: effector; interneuron; motor neuron; receptor; sensory neuron

Neurotransmitters
3. The following diagram shows the synapse between two neurons. The lists of statements about
the transmission of the nerve impulse across the synapse are jumbled. Use the code numbers
to place the statements in the correct order.
Jumbled statements:
1. Neurotransmitter chemicals are
released.
2. Neurotransmitters reach the dendrite.
3. An impulse travels along the axon.
4. Neurotransmitters cross the synapse.
5. The next neuron ‘fires’ and the impulse
continues along the next neuron.
6. The impulse reaches the end of the
axon.
7. The dendrite is stimulated by the
