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.
How many kinds of respiration occur in your body?
There Is two kinds of respiration through your mouth and also your nose
What cell carry messages to and from the different parts the body?
Neuron carries messages from different parts of the body.
What is the advantage of having different kinds of joints?
having differnt advantage in our body makes us move freely
What is axite?
An axite is any of the terminal branches of an axon. (An axon is a usually long and single nerve-cell process that usually conducts impulses away from the cell body.
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron?
Terminal branches (aka end brushes) are at the end of a Motor Nerve (aka Efferent Nerve) and are in very close proximity to the muscle fibers.
What are highly branched cellular processes of a neuron that carry signals towards the cell body of a neuron?
These are called dendrites as they look like the branches of trees.It sounds like you're describing a synaptic transmission.
What is the long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron which is the conductor of nerve impulses?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
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.
The tree like structures on a neuron are called?
the neuron is composed of 4 parts the cell body which contains the nucleus the axon which carry the information and the terminal button which distribute the neurons the dendrites which are the branches that come out.... the dendrites receive the signal.
A neuron's cell body is termed what in the cns?
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
What is the importance of a neuron?
A neuron sends messages from your brain to your body
The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the?
dendrite
What is the function of the cell body?
The cell body is the main part of the neuron. It maintains the health of the neuron.
What is an extension of the neuron cell body that sends information away from the neuron?
the axon
Where is the neuron cell in the human body?
Within the nervous system. The brain is obviously packed full of them, whilst the spinal cord and all extending peripheral branches are a network of nerve cells to carry signals between the brain and body.
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron as?
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron...as feedback system is to control system. The motor neurons send signals from the brain to control the body. The sensory neurons send signals from the body back to the brain.
