What else can I help you with?
What is olfactory neurons?
They process and relay sensory input from your nose.
Which neuron is never myelinated?
Neurons that do not have a myelin sheath must use continuous conduction, which is slower. These are the smaller axons of the CNS, as well as some types of fine sensory fibers, such as olfactory nerves.
What are olfactory lobes?
Olfactory lobes are a part of the brain responsible for processing information related to smell. They receive sensory input from olfactory sensory neurons in the nose and help interpret and make sense of different odors.
How do basal cells contribute to olfaction?
Basal cells are stem cells in the olfactory epithelium that can regenerate olfactory sensory neurons. They differentiate into new olfactory sensory neurons to replace damaged or dying cells, helping maintain the olfactory sensory system's ability to detect and transmit odor information to the brain.
What is in charge of your olfactory system?
The mechanism of the olfactory system can be divided into a peripheral one, sensing an external stimulus and encoding it as an electric signal in neurons, and a central one, where all signals are integrated and processed in the central nervous system. The peripheral olfactory system receptors are connected to bipolar olfactory receptor neurons in the olfactory epithelium. Fot the central olfactory system, axons from the olfactory sensory neurons converge in the olfactory bulb.
Where are bipolar neurons found?
Bipolar neurons are primarily found in specialized sensory organs, such as in the retina of the eye and in the olfactory epithelium of the nose. They are responsible for carrying sensory information from these organs to the central nervous system.
Sensory neurons of the PNS are?
Unipolar Sensory Neurons: large myelinated neurons with the cell body off to one side of the single dendritic-axon process. Multipolar Motor Neurons: large myelinated neurons that have many dendrites off the cell body and an axon that may branch to effect many effectors.
Myelinated neurons are embedded in what?
the axons of myelinated neurons are embeded in a protective covering of gray matter.
Where are olfactory receptors located?
Olfactory receptors are located in the nasal cavity, specifically in the olfactory epithelium. This specialized tissue lines the upper part of the nasal cavity and contains millions of olfactory receptor cells that are responsible for detecting smells.
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
Do action potential transmission is faster in myelinated neurons?
TRUE. Neurons with myelin (or myelinated neurons) conduct impulses much faster than those without myelin.
Sensory neorons and neurons are connected by-?
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
