The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?

The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.


How many axons does each neuron have?

Most neurons contain one axon. There have never been more than one found. However, some neurons contain no axon at all.


What is the tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle called?

The tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals from the axon are transmitted to the dendrite or muscle through the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.


The insulating material produced by Schwann cells is known as what?

The insulating material produced by Schwann cells is known as myelin. Myelin forms a protective covering around nerve fibers, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses. This insulation is critical for proper functioning of the nervous system.


What is the structure that connects two neurons?

The synapse. It's comprised of 3 parts: an end of the pre-synaptic neuron (called an axon terminal, or axon button), the beginning of the post-synaptic neuron (usually a dendrite, or often a dendritic spine), and the gap in between them (called the synaptic cleft).The synapse is held in place by small molecules called synaptic adhesion molecules, which protrude from each of the axon terminal and the dendrite, and stick together along parts of their lengths, like the two end joints of two fingers, one from each hand, laying against one another and glued together there.

The neurolemma and the myelin of the myelinated axons are interrupted at regular intervals along the axon by?

The gap between each myelinated section of an axon is known the node of ranvier.


What is the structure at the end of an axon that produces neurotransmitters?

The axon is a single process extending from the axon hillock, sometimes covered by a fatty layer called a myelin sheath that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body of the neuron.Distal tips of axons are telodendria, each of which terminates in a synaptic knob.

Will a dual trace oscilloscope have one set of position control?

Nope - it has controls for each trace. I have a DTO and it has controls to position the trace horizontally for each channel.


Which connective tissue layer directly surrounds each axon in a nerve?

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium.


How many axons can a single Schwann cell myelinate?

Unlike oligodendrocytes Schwann cells can only myelinate one axon. But the number of Schwann cells it takes to myelinate an axon depends on the axon length as a Schwann cell only myelinates one area between pairs of Nodes of Ranvier. Think of it like a string of sausage. the sting is the axon, each sausage is where a single Schwann cell myelinates that axon, as stated the length will determine the total number of Schwann cells needed for myelination, but a Schwann cell can only myelinate one axon.


A synaptic knob would be located on a?

A synaptic knob is a tiny bulge at the end of a terminal branch of a presynaptic neuron's axon!


What does the axon bulb do?

It starts the transmission of a neural signal from one neuron to another.An axon ends in an axon terminal, which ends in a small rounded tip called the axon bulb. Each terminal lies very close to either a dendrite or a cell body of another neuron, and the combination of the end of the first neuron, the beginning of the next, and the space between them is known as a synapse; when a neural impulse reaches the axon bulb, it is stimulated to release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (gap), which diffuse over to the second neuron, conveying the signal to the second neuron.


What is the resonant frequency of skin?

Each body is of a different resonance because of size an quantity of elements.
