The part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its' cell body is called?
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
What major mineral is required for transmission of nerve impulses?
neuro transmitter is essential for the transmission of nerve impulses in nerve fibres.it is a chemical which is present in the axon terminal bulb(ending of a neuron).
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
What is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What is the role of a dendrite in the neuron?
It receives impulses from other neurons, and then sends those nerve impulses to the body of the cell, where they are added together at the axon hillock, and if they provide a sufficient strength (voltage, potential), an action potential will fire in the output of the neuron, the axon.
What is the nerve fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons?
The axon
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
The part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its' cell body is called?
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Extension of a neuron that sends impulses to other nerve cells or to muscles or glands?
axon
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is the extension of a neuron and it sends nerve impulses away from the cell. In simpler words it is the "tail" of a nerve cell which sends messages to other cells.
What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
What is the long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron which is the conductor of nerve impulses?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What major mineral is required for transmission of nerve impulses?
neuro transmitter is essential for the transmission of nerve impulses in nerve fibres.it is a chemical which is present in the axon terminal bulb(ending of a neuron).
Where do nerve impulses leave the neuron?
Nerve impulses are transmitted down the axon and leave the neuron via the terminal bouton at the synaptic interface, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to affect the post-synaptic cell..
In which direction does the message travel in the neuron?
it travels through the dendrite to the synaptic terminal to the axon
What is the structure of a neuron and what kinds of neurons are found in the body?
A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called ­dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only one axon. An axon, however, can have more than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell.Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. Nerve fibers are often arranged in parallel bundles covered with connective tissue, something like a package of uncooked spaghetti wrapped in cellophane. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
