Neurons in which dendritic and axonal processes are continuous and the soma lies off to one side are called?

Bipolar neurons have only one axon and one dendrite with the soma between them. There are probably very few, if any, neurons that contain only a single axon and dendrite. However, the concept is useful because some neurons behave as if they only had a single axon and dendrite. These neurons, called bipolar neurons because their cell body sits in between the axon and dendrite (giving the neuron two "poles"), are abundant in the nervous system. One very important type of bipolar neuron occurs in the retina, and is responsible for how we process light at an early level.

What are groups of neurons send connections from the cortex deep into the brain?
These are called 'projection neurons'. The cell body in the cortex will have a long axonal projection that courses down into a subcortical region, and vice versa.
What do we call the connections between the nerve cells?
An axo-axonal synapse is what a connection specifically between one axon and another axon is called. The general term for a connection between neurons is SYNAPSE, and typically is between an axon and a dendrite.
What is the difference between the axon and axonal terminal and synaptic knob?
Axon is branch of neuron that conducts impulse , axonal terminal and synaptic knob are same , it is bulb like and makes a synapse .
Which cell must have action potentials to produce one or more action potentials in the postsynaptic cell?
A neuron (nerve cell) receives dendritic input in order to generate action potentials to transmit signals of the same. After the action potential triggers release of neurotransmitters in the axonal terminal of that neuron, those neurotransmitters propagate the signal forward to the next neuron, and so forth.
Axons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as?
Nerve Endings. Axonal Terminals.
Why the flow of signal in synapse from axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another neuron but not the reverse?
i dont no

What do The anterior horns of the spinal cord contain?
do you mean dorsal or ventral horn?ventral (closest to belly) contain fibres going out to the body, so ones terminating in tissuesdorsal (closest to back) contains fibres travelling from the body towards the CNS, carrying sensory informationgrey matter is made of neurons (their cell bodies) white matter consists of axons (their processes)white matter is white due to the fatty protein rich myelin which coats the processes but not the cell body
What is axonal insulation?
Penis

What is the difference between Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes?
1) starting with the obvious; oligodendrocytes myelinate axons in the CNS whereas schwann cells myelinate axons in the PNS 2) a single oligodendrocyte is able to myelinate multiple axons whereas a schwann cell can only myelinate a single axon. 3) schwann cell myelination allows for axonal grown and regeneration where as oligodendrocytes inhibit axonal growth and regeneration. 4).... and probably a bunch more differences
What mechanism is responsible for axonal transport?
A single bidirectional transport mechanism appears to be responsible for axonal transport. (From Human Anatomy and Physiology Marieb 8th Ed.)
What is axonal recruitment?
Axonal recruitment refers to the process by which an increasing number of axons in a nerve are activated to generate a stronger neural signal or action potential. Each axon is capable of generating an action potential, which is an electrical signal that travels along the length of the axon. However, at low levels of stimulation, only a subset of axons in a nerve will generate action potentials. As the level of stimulation increases, more axons will begin to generate action potentials, leading to increased neural activity. Axonal recruitment is an important mechanism for regulating the strength and sensitivity of neural signals. It allows the nervous system to modulate the strength of its responses to different levels of stimuli, and can be observed in a variety of physiological processes, including muscle contraction and sensory processing.

Substance released at axonal endings to stimulate a nervous impulse is?
a neurotransmitter
