Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
What is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
Do graded potentials increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus?
No, they actually decrease in amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point.
What is an alternative term for an axon?
Dendrites: Unlike most axons, they receive signals from other neurons and pass the messages to the cell body of the neuron. Axons transmit impulses away from the cell body toward the axon endings/ terminals
What does erosion carry away?
Erosion carries away sediment.
What is a tiny branching thread-like structure found in neurons?
There are two possible answers - axons or dendrites. Axons carry action potentials away from the neuron, while dendrites receive action potentials.
What carries messages from the cell body of a neuron?
Remember: Axons away, so dendrites carry messages from the cell, and axons carry them away.
Does a dendrite carry impulses away?
They carry impulses to the cell body. Axons carry impulses away from the cell body.
Axons and dendrites?
There are 2 types OS nerve fibers, called axons and dendrites. The axons carry nerve impulses away from the cellbody, while dendrites carry them towards the cell body.
What is the main function of axons?
to carry the message in the neuron away from the dendrite.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
Nerve impulse consists of a wave of moving away from a point of stimulation?
action potentials
Are axons efferent or afferent?
They can be both. Afferent axons carry (sensory) information toward the central nervous system; efferent axons carry (motor command) information away from the central nervous system towards the muscles and glands. Think "affect" vs. "effect" or "arrive" vs. "exit".
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
What carries messages away from neuron?
The axons.
In a steep-shore zone wave action and currents do what?
Carry away sediment.
