What else can I help you with?
Is neuritis having problems with what structures?
The structures involved are the axons coming from the nerve cells.
The branchlike structures the receive messages from other neurons are called?
Axons
What are profuse branches at the end of axons called?
The profuse branches at the end of axons are called axon terminals or synaptic terminals. These structures contain neurotransmitters that are released to communicate with other neurons or target cells at synapses.
What is a word ending in ical that is to do with axons and dendrites?
Could be terminal for Axon Terminal or electrical- electrical impulses.
What are the two types of structures carry out transmission functions?
The two types of structures that carry out transmission functions are nerve fibers, which transmit electrical impulses in the nervous system, and axons, which are extensions of nerve cells that conduct electrical signals away from the cell body.
Why do you think axons are long?
Because they have to reach from the base of the spine to the end of the foot.
What are the roles of the axon dendrite?
A very basic explanation would say that axons are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses ("messages") away from the cell body, and that dendrites are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body.
Neurons are small and have no anatomical features that distinguish dendrites from axons?
Neurons may appear similar at a glance, but they have distinct functional features that differentiate dendrites from axons. Dendrites are tree-like structures that receive signals from other neurons, while axons are long, slender projections that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body. This functional specialization, along with the presence of synaptic terminals at the axon's end and the characteristic branching of dendrites, allows for efficient communication within the nervous system.
Why is there fat coating around the dendrites and axons?
The myelin sheath, which is the fatty coating surrounding dendrites and axons, helps to insulate and protect these structures. It speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses down the axon during neural communication, allowing for efficient signaling in the nervous system.
Neurotransmitters are released from vesicles located in knob-like terminals on the?
end of axons in the synapse.
What is a neural cable containing many axons?
A neural cable containing many axons is called a nerve bundle or nerve tract. These structures are composed of multiple axons bundled together, transmitting electrical signals throughout the nervous system. Nerve bundles play a crucial role in relaying information between different parts of the body and the brain.
What does the fornix function as in the brain?
the fornix connects the mamillary body to the hippocampus.
