What part of the nerve are Axons and dendrites?
cell
What are the two types of nerve processes?
The two types of nerve processes are axons and dendrites. Axons transmit signals away from the cell body, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its what?
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
Are neurons and nerves the same thing?
A neuron (or neurone) is an individual cell of the nervous system. Neurons communicate with one another and other tissues through long processes that extend from their cell bodies. There are different names for these processes; some are called dendrites, others are called axons. Often it is fine to be vague and just call them fibers. Fibers of multiple neurons serving a similar function can come together and be wrapped up in a piece of connective tissue. These fibers and their surrounding connective tissue are called a nerve.
What are two processes that extend from the nerve systems?
Two processes that extend from the nerve cell body are dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive incoming signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, while axons carry outgoing signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What part of the nerve are Axons and dendrites?
cell
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?
Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.
Is an axon larger than a nerve?
No, an axon is a part of a nerve cell and is smaller than a nerve, which is a bundle of axons.
Is a nerve message also called a synapse?
Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.
Axons and dendrites?
Axons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the neuron cell body. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive incoming signals from axons of other neurons. Together, axons and dendrites play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the nervous system.
What provides for the transmission of nerve impulses way from the cell body?
'Axons'
Gray matter in the spinal cord is mostly?
unmyelinated axons.
Which best describes the components of a nerve?
axons, blood vessels, connective tissue, Schwann cell.
Which bestdescribes thecomponents ofa nerve?
axons, blood vessels, connective tissue, Schwann cell.
Difference between a neuron and a nerve?
A bundle of axons is a nerve. A neuron is the cell of the nervous system and is composed of dendrites, axon, and the cell body.
What is a group of axons bundled together called?
a nerve is bundled together by neuron fibers. The CELL BODY OF A NERVE or neuron is surrounded by satellite cells.
