Is this true or false? Neurosecretory cells of our body detect changes in our environment.

Answer 1

False

No, our neural receptors are what sense changes in the immediate external or internal environment (which serve as stimuli). A sensory neuron responds by producing an impulse, which is then sent to the central nervous system (CNS).

Neurosecretory cells transmit motor impulses or release hormones.
