This week we learned that there are three different types of neurons in our body. Sensory neurons carry impulses from the sense organs to the spinal cord and brain. The motor neurons takes the impulses from the spinal cord and brain to the muscles and glands. The connector neurons simply carry the impulse message from one neuron to the next. First our body receives impulses in the sensory neurons. The sensory neurons carry the impulses to the motor neurons. From the motor neurons the impulses are carried to the connector neuron. I found online that alcohol consumption can affect the chemical signals that are transferred in the synaptic cleft. Alcohol either slows down or entirely stops the neurotransmitter from attaching to the receptor cell. (Website below).
