The spinal cord consists of which type of cell bodies?
Correct answer: D. All of these options are correct
- A. Sensory neuron
- B. Motor neuron
- C. Connector neuron
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
The spinal cord consists of all of these types of cell bodies: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and connector neurons. Sensory neurons carry information from the periphery of the body to the spinal cord. They are responsible for transmitting information about touch, pain, temperature, and other sensations. Motor neurons carry information from the spinal cord to the periphery of the body. They are responsible for controlling voluntary movements and reflexes. Connector neurons (also called interneurons) connect sensory neurons to motor neurons. They are responsible for integrating sensory information and generating motor responses.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
