Dendrites are branching extensions of?
neurons
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What is the branching fiber that is the first part of the neuron to receive a nervous system impulse called?
The branching fiber that is the first part of the neuron to receive a nervous system impulse is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron. They play a crucial role in receiving and integrating incoming information in the nervous system.
What neurons are in the skin?
pain receptors
What is another name for receptors?
Neurons
What is the Peripheral beginning of a sensory neurons dendrite?
Receptors
What is the portion of the neuron that accepts incoming impulses?
The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus. Dendrites are extensions of the main cellular body of the neuron called the soma; the impulse is passed on to another neuron at the other end, which is called the axon. Neurons transmit impulses to each other via electro-chemical connections to each other that are known as synapses.
What is a Short branched extensions that carry impulses to the nerve cell body are called?
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals and transmit them to the cell body, where the information is integrated before being passed on to other neurons. They play a critical role in the communication between neurons within the nervous system.
What are the thin chain-like extensions of the neurons called?
Axons
What pairs lists the fiber like extensions that are components of neurons a axons and myelin b synapses and myelin c dendrites and axons d dendrites and synapses?
C. Dendrites and axons both extend from the cell body of the neuron in a branching fashion.
What are the distal ends of sensory neurons called?
They are called receptors
What is the Cell that receives and transmit information?
nerve cell or receptors nerve cell or receptors nerve cell or receptors
