What else can I help you with?
What kind of animal cell is called a neuron?
A neuron is a nerve cell.
What is the 3 types of neuron?
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
Why is it helpful to have impulses moving only in one direction in a neuron?
Your neurons are adapted in such a way that impulses move only in one direction.
What kind of cell is a neuron?
A nerve cell.
What effect do neurotransmitter from one neuron have on the next neuron?
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
Can a neuron have multiple axons?
No, each neuron has only one axon, but has multiple dendrites so it can receive information from multiple axons from other multiple neurons.
What is the insulating material found around a neuron?
myelin, although it is really only around the AXON of the neuron, not the whole neuron.
What functional advantages a neuron with several have over a neuron with only one dendrite?
These are also called multipolar neurons and they allow for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons.
What functional advantage does a neuron with several dendrites have over a neuron with only one dendrite?
A neuron with several dendrites can receive input from a larger number of other neurons simultaneously, allowing for integration of multiple signals. This increases the complexity and specificity of information processing within the neuron. Having multiple dendrites also enables the neuron to sample a wider range of its environment for incoming signals.
What is synapses?
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
What is the only one of its kind called?
An item or object that is the only one of its kind is referred to as a "unique" or "one-of-a-kind."
What effects do neurotransmitters from the neuron have on the next neuron?
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
