What is The largest cell in the body is?
While axons of the neuron are often mere micrometres thick, they can be up to a meter long (and longer in adults). This makes the neuron the longest cell in the body.
Do schwann cells wrap their cytoplasmic extensions around thick neuron fibers in the CNS?
NO they wrap around the axon in the PNS!
Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
Specialized cell that makes up the nervous system?
The cells that makes up the nervous system is the Inter-neuron (circuit neuron), sensory neuron and motor neuron.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
Define relay neuron?
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
What is the 3 types of neuron?
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
What is intermixed neuron?
a neuron which recieve both messages from afferent and efferent neuron...
What type of neuron connects to a muscle?
A motor or efferent neuron.
What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
What is a type a neuron?
1.motor neuron 2. sensory neuron 3.interneuron
