Do nerves contain axons?
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
What is a statement regarding synapses?
Synapses are the connections between nerve cells. They transmit information from one nerve cell to the next. However, all nerve cells receive and make many synapses, so what the nerve cell actually does with the incoming signals can be quite complicated.
What two type of cell populations make up neural tissue?
Sensory (receptor), motor (effector), and intermediate (relay) nuerones. They have functions of transmitting impulses to nerve cells, from nerve cells to effector muscles, and from one nerve cell to another respectively.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?
Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.
What type of cell is shaped like a long tube with the nucleus at one end - a muscle or epithelial or nerve or connective cell?
Nerve cells are shaped like that.
What is the location from which a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to another?
synapse
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another?
synapse
What is neurotransmitter and give examples?
A chemical that is released from a nerve cell which thereby transmits an impulse from a nerve cell to another nerve, muscle, organ, or other tissue. A neurotransmitter is a messenger of neurologic information from one cell to another.
How does a nerve cell get injured?
A nerve cell can be injured in many ways. One was is a direct attack on the nerve cell from an external force such as an infection. Another way is when the organism is attacked and the nerve cells are damaged during the attack.
What Chemical messengers that transport nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another are called?
Neurotransmitter
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?
one axon to a dendrite...
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
A nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal of one neuron to another neuron across a synaptic gap.
Can neuroglia cells transmit action potentials from one nerve cell to another?
No.
What is the difference between a cable wire and a nerve?
a nerve connects to the brain but a cable connects to a whole load of others and put into one to make electricity
What is the name of the microscopic gsp between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another?
A synapse.
What has only one cell division?
Nerve cell
Do nerves contain axons?
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
