Yes. It is a neuron and it carries information by way of a very small current.

Can a nerve fibre survive without its cell?

No, a nerve fiber cannot survive without its cell, as the nerve fiber is an extension of the neuron, which is the cell responsible for its maintenance and function. The neuron provides essential support, including nutrients and electrical signals, necessary for the nerve fiber's survival. If the neuron dies, the nerve fiber will also degenerate and lose its ability to transmit signals.


What do you call the slender nerve fiber?

The slender nerve fiber is called an axon. It is the long, slender projection of a nerve cell that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

Can a nerve fiber survive without its cell or its axon?

No, a nerve fiber cannot survive without its cell body or axon. The cell body provides nutrients and support to the axon, while the axon is responsible for transmitting signals. Without either of these components, the nerve fiber would no longer function.

Mechanism of nerve conduction?

Nerve conduction involves the transmission of electrical impulses along the length of a nerve fiber. When a nerve is stimulated, sodium ions rush into the nerve cell, causing a change in electrical charge. This creates an action potential that travels down the nerve fiber, activating adjacent areas and allowing the signal to be transmitted. Once the impulse reaches its destination, neurotransmitters are released to stimulate the next nerve cell or muscle fiber.
