What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
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.
Do nerve cells have long arms to connect with other cells?
Yes. These are called dendrites becasue they do look like branches on a tree.
What are the branches and recombinations of nerves?
The branches and recombinations of nerves refer to the division and merging of nerve fibers within the nervous system. Nerve branches are extensions that arise from a main nerve trunk, allowing for communication with different regions of the body. Recombinations occur when nerve fibers from different branches converge to form new pathways, enabling complex signaling and coordination within the nervous system.
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron?
The two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron are dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body, while axons transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or target cells.
What is the space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron?
The space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they then bind to receptors on the dendrites of the receiving neuron to transmit the nerve signal.
Does the nerve cells have many connecting side branches?
Yes, nerve cells have many connecting side branches called dendrites which receive signals from other nerve cells. These signals are then transmitted through the cell body and down the axon to pass on information to other cells.
Where is information first received by a nerve at?
Information is first received by a nerve at the dendrites, which are the branched extensions of a nerve cell that receive signals from other neurons. The dendrites collect incoming signals and transmit them to the cell body of the neuron for processing.
Which structure in the neuron receives information from another nerve cell?
The dendrites are the structures in a neuron that receive information from other nerve cells. They are like branches extending from the cell body and are covered in synapses where neurotransmitters are received from other neurons.
What is the 12 pairs of peripheral nerves that branch out from the brain?
You are speaking of the 12 cranial nerves:I. Olfactory nerve which branches out of the telencephalonII. Optic which branches out of the diencephalonIII. Oculomotor nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonIV. Trochlear nerve nerve which branches out of the mesencephalonV. Trigeminal nerve which branches out of the ponsVI. Abducens nerve which branches out of the ponsVII. Facial nerve which branches out of the ponsVIII. Vestibulochochlear nerve which branches out of the ponsIX. Glossopharangeal nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaX. Vagus nerve nerve which branches out of the medullaXI. Accessory nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla & cervical spineXII. Hypoglossal nerve nerve which branches out of the medulla
