Basic functioning unit of the central nervous system?
The neuron
What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
Basic unit of nervous system?
Neuron
The basic unit of the nervous system is the?
A single nerve cell is called a neuron. A neuron carries electric pulses through the nerves in the nervous system. The neuron is the basic unit in the nervous system.
Why is neurons considered the basic elements of behavior?
It depends on the perspective of course. A' basic element of behaviour could mean more than one thing. For e.g., aggression is a basic element of behaviour, while the act of aggression is a manifestation of this. And a basic element of aggression could be seen as an organic disorder of the limbic system involving serotonergic neurotransmission. And a basic element of the latter would of course be the state and activity of neural networks within the limbic system - which would make the humble neuron a basic element of this. So you see, there are many layers of abstraction: Neuron -> Network -> Many networks -> Behavior. In other words, it really doesn't make sense to call a neuron 'a basic element of behavior' because all a neuron really is is a basic element of the brain. Behavior is a result of brain function. And without knowing what that function is (I mean mathematically) it would be a fallacy to link the two.
Unipolar neuron function?
The function Of a neuron is to transmit a signal at a very fast rate.
What is the basic nerve cell called?
True. The basic nerve cell is also referred to as a neuron.
Basic functioning unit of the central nervous system?
The neuron
What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
What is the Neuron function?
The function of a neuron is to transfer messages throughout the brain. These neurons are all attached and interpret everything that happens.
How are neuron and nerve similar in function?
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
Basic unit of nervous system?
Neuron
What is the primary unit of function in the nervous tissue?
The primary unit of the nervous tissue is the neuron. The function of the neuron is to transmit different signals from the nervous system to the various nerves in the body.
What is nerves or neurons?
nerves are white tough and string like structure there r two types of nerves sensory nerve and motor nerve neuron.............. neuron is basic unit of structure and function of nervous system ..........brain spinal cord and nerves are made up of neurons
What is the function of the dendrites in the neuron?
The dendrites receive the data or signal from another neuron for the soma.
The basic unit of the nervous system is the?
A single nerve cell is called a neuron. A neuron carries electric pulses through the nerves in the nervous system. The neuron is the basic unit in the nervous system.
The basic cell of the nervous system?
