What is the basic function of a neuron?
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell, that transmits signals (after processing) to another neuron or tissue. It sends out information to the brain.
What statement best describes a function of a nerve cell?
A nerve cell (neuron) transmits information from a part of the body to the brain
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
electrical
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by?
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by neurons. A neuron is a cell that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
What is the term for the neuron that transmits sensory information into the nervous system?
love
What is the basic function of a neuron?
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell, that transmits signals (after processing) to another neuron or tissue. It sends out information to the brain.
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What part of the neuron sends information to others?
Presynaptic neuron sends postsynaptic receives
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
The cell body of a neuron collects information from which structure?
The part of the neuron that picks up information and sends it to the cell body is the dendrite. Electrical stimulation is transmitted by upstream neurons onto dendrites, and the dendrites integrate and determine the extent to which action potentials are produced.
What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
Where does a neuron transmits it signals?
synapse
What is the different of neuron to an odinary cells?
A neuron is a fundamental cell of the nervous tissue which receives and maufactures information and generates and transmits responses and cells are composed of several different compounds (water, carbohydrates, proteins etc.) which combine to forma cell. In conclusion, a neuron basically belongs to the nervous tissue while ordinary cells generally belong to the blood tissue.
What neurons receive information from sensory organs?
Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
