What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
Why is there fat coating around the dendrites and axons?
The fat coating around the dendrites and axons is to insulate them.
Where are neurotransmitters released?
Dendrites
What is the part of the neuron that receives signals?
Dendrites are the receptors of a neuron.
Dendrites are branching extensions of what?
the brain
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
These are called 'dendrites'
Where is the dendrites located at?
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
Is dendrites a structure of a neuron?
Yes, dendrites are the input structures of a neuron.
What structures carry information toward the neurosoma?
dendrites
Short branched extensions of a neuron?
In neurons, short, tapering, diffusely branched processes from the cell body are known as the dendrites. If the dendrites are short/tapering and diffusely branched, then this is referring to the dendrites of motor neurons.
What do dendrites connect?
Dendrites connect to other receptive cell (ie. Receptors)
What is dendrites function?
Assuming that the question is What is the function of the dendrites? The answer is: Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
Why dendrites come from the greek word tree?
dendrites < δενδρίτες < δένδρο [thendro] = tree
From what two places does the nervous system receive information?
From the dendrites and axon.
What is a type of neuron with only two dendrites?
The type of nearon with only two dendrites is bipolar.
What are the short fibers that extend from the neuron called?
They are called dendrites
