What are the cell that forms nervous tissue called?
neurons (which trasmit impulses) and glial cells which provide support and nutrition for the neurons.
Explain how the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain a relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
The cluster of capillaries that forms a glomerulus arises from an afferent arteriole. After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood (minus any filtered fluid) enters an efferent arteriole whose diameter is smaller than that of the afferent vessel. This is instead of entering a venule, the usual circulatory route. The efferent arteriole resists blood flow to some extent, which backs up blood into the glomerulus, increasing pressure in the glomerular capillary.
Do The neurons transfers information in the forms of an electrical impulse?
yes they do
What forms synapses or junctions with other neurons or effector cells?
axon terminals
What are relay neurons?
An interneuron (also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) is a neuron that forms a connection between other neurons. Interneurons are neither motor nor sensory.
Do neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells?
No, there is not any information that neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells. Somatic cells are the biological form of an animal, neurons are the forms of elements not organisms.
What parts of the eye are involved with the inability to see. this is dealing with Blind spots?
The parts that are involved are the retina, brain cells called neurons, photo receptors, the optic nerves, and the iris. They function like a camera. How? Well the optic nerve head, neurons collected together passing as a whole through our photo receptors and it forms our optic nerve; they work as messengers to our brain. Once our eye sees light, the neurons transfers it to our brain as a picture. So when our blind spots kick in that means that there are no neurons passing to our photo receptors in that area, as in nothings being transmitted to our brain so there's no picture. Um... i hoped i was a good help to you XD
Is a association neuron unipolar?
No, an association neuron (also known as an interneuron) is not unipolar. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, while association neurons have multiple processes (dendrites and axons). Association neurons are responsible for connecting sensory and motor neurons in the central nervous system.
What germ layer does peripherial ganglion derive form?
If you are referring to the dorsal root ganglion, which is the major sensory ganglion for afferent cells. It also forms the peripheral ganglia.
What functional differences are there among sensory motor and associative neurons?
Sensory neurons are specialized to translate many forms of input (light waves, sound waves, tissue displacement, molecules suspended in air or dissolved in saliva, and so on) into action potentials. Motor neurons carry commands to glands and muscles. Association neurons have neither specific sensory nor motor functions, but rather form bridges between the sensory and motor neurons.
What is a fipple?
A fipple is a block which forms the means by which wind is transmitted down the mouthpiece of a wind instrument, such as a recorder or flute.
If you had hepatitis A 30 years ago can you transmit it sexually?
Hepatitis A is not a sexually transmitted disease. Most other forms of Hepatitis ARE sexually transmitted, but Hepatitis A is NOT. Hepatitis A is transmitted through the "fecal-oral" route. It is most often transmitted in foods when food preparers who have Hep A don't wash their hands carefully before preparing food.
