More than that, their interactions define who we are as people.]]> 2018-08-10 04:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/knathalie/ae18qun75sd5/wish/272584765 knathalie https://padlet.com/knathalie/ae18qun75sd5/wish/272585042 2018-08-10 04:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/knathalie/ae18qun75sd5/wish/272585042 knathalie https://padlet.com/knathalie/ae18qun75sd5/wish/272585133 "Sensory neurons are the nerve cells that are activated by sensory input from the environment - for example, when you touch a hot surface with your fingertips, the sensory neurons will be the ones firing and sending off signals to the rest of the nervous system about the information they have received."]]> 2018-08-10 04:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/knathalie/ae18qun75sd5/wish/272585133 knathalie https://padlet.com/knathalie/ae18qun75sd5/wish/272585207 "Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body.
