Clusters of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in the brain are called?
Nuclei
What are the functions of axons and dendrites?
axons conducts electrical impulses away from the neuronal cell body. dendrites are branched neuronal projections that conduct the electrical stimulation received from other neurons to the cell body from which they branch.
Does dendrites contain nissl bodies?
Yes, dendrites contain Nissl bodies. Nissl bodies, also called Nissl substance or Nissl granules, are rough endoplasmic reticulum in the neuronal cell bodies and dendrites. They are responsible for protein synthesis in the neuron.
What are nerve cells part?
Axon, Nerve Ending (Presynaptic Terminals), Dendrites, Neuronal Membrane*, and the Cell Body. The parts within the cell body: Nucleus Golgi Apparatus Polyribosomes Neuronal membrane Mitochondrium Endoplasmic Reticulums (Smooth and Rough)
How does information pass from one neuron to another?
In the form of an electrical pulse and also by chemical messengers.
What is gray matter made out of?
Neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and both unmyelinated axons and myelinated axons), glial cells (astroglia and oligodendrocytes) and capillaries.
What is white matter in the brain composed of?
largely or entirely composed of nerve fibers and contain few or no neuronal cell bodies or dendrites.
What are the different parts of a cell called?
the axon
What is the cell body has many short strands branching out from it is called what?
the short strands coming out from the cell body is called dendrites.
What is the function of a neuron's dendries?
In general, but not always, dendrites receive neurochemical information from neurotransmitters released by axons. Dendrites are branched extensions of the neuronal cell body, or soma, that receive information from other neurons. The dendrite is the post-synaptic portion of many synapses within the nervous system that contains synaptic receptors that bind to neurotransmitters and respond by excitation or inhibition of the membrane potential.
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
These are called 'dendrites'
Where is the dendrites located at?
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
