What is the electrical message that travels along a neuron?
electrical signal
Where do motor neurons carry signals from?
The entire signal travels in the neuron by a graded potential which is created in the dendrites and the body (soma) of the neuron, then it reaches a spot of the neuron which is called the axon-hillock where the signal now for the first time has encountered "voltage-gated channels" and now can create an Action potential that can propagate through the terminus of the neuron which is the length of the axon.
What process describe how signal travels from one end of a neuron to the other end?
Depolarization is not one of the answers. i am taking the same class. I'm nearly 100% sure it's C. Membrane excitability because they send information over long areas.
Unipolar neuron function?
The function Of a neuron is to transmit a signal at a very fast rate.
What function does synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitter?
To send a signal to the next neuron ... across the synapse.
What process describes how a signal travels from one end of a neuron to the other a. hormonal requlation B. muscle coordination C. membrane excitability d. neurotransmitter release?
The process that describes how a signal travels from one end of a neuron to the other is called neurotransmitter release. Neurons are very important.
How does a signal travels down a neuron?
Best Answer: They make chemicals that are gas-like. Neurotransmitters.
Explain the communication process of neurons in the brain?
When transmitting a message, a signal travels through the neuron until the cell ends at the terminal. In order to propagate the signal to the next neuron chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) are released into the inter-neuronal space (synapse). This triggers signal initiation in the second neuron.
What is the path of an electrical impulse as it moves through a neuron?
The electrical impulse travels into the dendrites, the "input" of the neuron, and into the soma or "body" where the signal gets processed. From there, the processed signal travels down the axon or "output" and into the dendrites of another neuron.
What is the electrical message that travels along a neuron?
electrical signal
What electrical impulse travels outward from the cell body along what?
Typically, the electrical signal that travels from the dendrites across the cell body travels by cable conduction properties (like cable TV). Once the signal reaches the axon hillock, which is the spot where the axon branches off the cell body, the electrical signal starts traveling by action potentials (and maybe some cable conduction). The signal travels to the terminal end of the axon where it initiates a calcium influx, which in turn initiates a release of neurotransmitter to act on the next, post-synaptic neuron. The axon is the long process (arm) that extends from the first cell body to the next neuron.
Is it true that motor neurons pass messages from neuron to neuron?
Yes, an electrical signal is passed from the dendrites of 1 motor neuron, through it's cell body, through it's axon (the long tail looking feature of the neuron). It then travels through branches of the axon and forms synapses with other motor neurons, this is how the electrical signal is passed.
What term is used to describe a neuron that is not transmitting a signal?
When a neuron is not transmitting a signal, it is at rest.

When a neuron is not transmitting a signal, it is at rest.

What is a description of the generalized function of an axon?
If you mean the part of a neuron, then an axon transmits the signal created by the nucleus to another neuron. Myelin, the coating around the axon, helps make this process faster.
