sensory neurons
What else can I help you with?
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
What carries impulses away from the cell body?
Axons carry impulses away from the cell body of a neuron. They are long, slender projections that transmit electrical impulses to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron
Does myelin sheath transmits impulses from one nuron to another?
Myelin sheath never transmits the impulse from one neuron to another. On the contrary these are insulating cells which prevent transmission of nerve impulses.
What part of a nerve cell carries impulses toward the cell body?
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
What is the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?
When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.
What Chemical messengers that transport nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another are called?
Chemical messengers that transmit nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another are called neurotransmitters. These molecules are released from the axon terminals of one neuron and bind to receptors on the dendrites of another neuron to propagate the signal. Common neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
How do three neurons work together?
she sneezed with the thundering force of a hurricane!
Why is it helpful to have impulses moving only in one direction in a neuron?
Your neurons are adapted in such a way that impulses move only in one direction.
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 cellular unit of the nervous system is the neuron What is the major function of this cell type?
Transmit messages (nerve impulses) from one part of the body to another
Does muscle tissue conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to another and coordinates body activity?
Muscle tissue cannot conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to the other. Moreover, skeletal muscle tissue cannot even pass impulses between themselves and they should be stimulated by single branches of neurons. However, cardiac muscle cells has the unique ability to conduct impulses between themselves through gap junctions.
