The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic membrane of the primary sensory neuron, where they elicit an action potential.
The presence of this kinase leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes.
The sensory neuron synapses onto the motor neuron in the spinal cord.
The sensory neuron then synapses with interneurons that connect to motor neurons.
Secretomotor nerve endings are frequently contrasted with sensory neuron endings and motor nerve endings.
Sensory receptors in the stimulated body part send signals to the spinal cord along a sensory neuron.
The system works when activity in a sensory neuron is triggered by a specific stimulus such as pain, for instance.
They are a type of mechanoreceptor sensory neuron that is excited by stretch of the blood vessel.
