The dendritic tree (to bind neurotransmitters (NTs)), the soma (also referred to as the cell body), the axon hillock (where action-potentials initiate), the axon (propagates the electrical signal), and the axon terminal (release of neurotransmitters). The membrane properties are also different to the average cell because they contain receptors and a high density of ion channels. Inside the cell, NTs are synthesized and 'shipped' down the axon to the axon terminal on long thin filaments propelled by tiny actin/dynein 'motors'. Once at the terminal, the NTs wait at the 'presynaptic active zone' for release (which is prompted by the electrical signal conveyed down the axon from the axon hillock).
What are the four principle components of a neuron? Explain their individual functionWhat are the four principle components of a neuron? Explain their individual function
The three structural components of a neuromuscular response are the motor neuron, the neuromuscular junction, and the muscle fiber. The motor neuron transmits signals from the brain or spinal cord to the muscle, the neuromuscular junction is where the motor neuron and muscle fiber meet and communicate, and the muscle fiber is the contractile tissue that generates force in response to nerve signals.
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
Summarized below are the 5 major components of the reflex arc: 1. Receptor 2. Afferent (sensory) neurons 3. Association neuron 4. Efferent (motor) neurons 5. Effector
a neuron which recieve both messages from afferent and efferent neuron...
A motor or efferent neuron.
it is neuron impulse
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
