What are the roles of the axon dendrite?
A very basic explanation would say that axons are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses ("messages") away from the cell body, and that dendrites are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body.
What are responsible for converting sensory messages into neural impulses?
Transductions
What are nerves?
nerves are also called neurons and they transport impulses(messages)
What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?
nerve impulses
How do different organs and tissues commmunicate the cells?
If you meant communicate with cells than there are 3 systems available for communication. Nervous (including neuro secretory) and endocrine and exocrine glands. the first uses neurons and electrical impulses to transmit messages throughout the body, neuro secretory cells are used in the hypothalamus to controls the pituitary glands. Endocrine and exocrine glands both use hormones which are either sent to cells to control them or to other glands.
Why electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses?
Electrical impulses are referred to as neural impulses because a neural impulse cause electrical impulses. Neurons use electrical impulses to send messages.
How do the neurons sent messages to the brain?
electrical impulses
The blank are carried to the brain and spinal cord by nerves?
i would say that blank is "messages" or electrical impulses.
What is the function of the dendrites and axon?
A very basic explanation would say that axons are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses ("messages") away from the cell body, and that dendrites are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body.
What did samuel morse's telegraph use to transmit messages?
The first electrical telegraphs used Morse Code, sent as long and short electrical impulses along wires.
What are the parts of the neuroendocrine system?
The neuroendocrine system includes the nervous system and endocrine system. These systems transmit messages via nerve impulses and hormones, respectively. nerves monitor the body, and hormones make adjustments
How does the structure of a neuron reflect the function of transmitting messages or electrical signals?
the structure of the neutron allows for efficient transmission of electrical impulses in the body.
Neurons that carry messages within the nervous system?
A neuron or a nerve cell, carries electrical impulses. Relay neurons carry messages from one part of the central nervous system to another.
How are messages carries in neurons?
Neurons send electric impulses to your cells via the dendrites. The Axons carry the electrical impulses away from the cell. This process sends out signals to your brain for all of your body processes such as muscle movement.
Does neural impulses travel faster than hormonal messages?
Nerve impulses move at nearly the speed of light. Hormones are chemicals that are released over a period of time to Crete changes in a multicellular organism. So, naturally, nerve impulses are faster.
Messages in your brain are transmitted by?
nerve impulses.
What does galvanis experiment tell us about the way nerves carry messages to muscles?
Galvani\'s experimet tells us that nerves carry messages to the muscle through electrical impulses.
