The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?
The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are conduction impulses and communicating with each other. These stimuli can be touch, sound, light, taste, and smell.
What are neurons with two processes classified as?
Neurons with two processes are classified as bipolar neurons.
What happens to two pieces of metal if they touch in space?
When two pieces of metal touch in space, they become PERMANENTLY stuck together. This happens because of the lack of gravity in space
What are two parts of the peripheral nervous system?
sensory neurons and motor neurons
Which of the sensory functions involves neurons in the posterior root ganglia?
touch
What is junction between two neurons?
The synaptic cleft is the space between two neurons, they never actually touch each other.
Do neurons touch each other?
Not exactly; as an impulse moves from one neuron to another it crosses a small space between the neurons called a synapse. The neurons as said to 'not touch' because the cell MEMBRANES of the two neurons do NOT touch, nor merge, nor consequently is there any sharing of cytoplasm between the two neurons. The two neurons ARE, however, HELD TOGETHER at that synapse by small molecules called SYNAPTIC ADHESION MOLECULES, which protrude FROM each neuron into the synaptic cleft or gap and then stick to one another. In this sense, PARTS of neurons do 'touch' PARTS of other neurons, in a MECHANICAL or structural manner, but NOT in an electrical or signal sense. The neural SIGNAL passes through the synaptic cleft or gap via neurotransmitter chemicals which are released by one neuron, diffuse quickly through the gap, and then stimulate a signal in the receiving neuron.

What happens if two eyeballs touch?
They can't touch. There is bone formation between them.
What are neurons with two processes classified as?
Neurons with two processes are classified as bipolar neurons.
What happens when two electric eels touch?
bam
Does the nerve belong to the peripheral nervous system?
Yes it is. Reflex arcs include at least two neurons. The sensory neurons taking information into the cord and motor neurons taking information out. This happens, for example, when you touch a hot object and your arm jerks away. Also there can be an addition neuron that is somewhat slower that "reports" the incident to the brain. It is called an interneuron. It is located between the first two.

What happens when two neurons meet?
these two neutrons are both nuetrally charged there will be no reaction. the Purpose of a neutron is too separate the protons from each other
Which of the sensory functions involves neurons in the posterior root ganglia?
touch
Do neurons in your brain actually touch each other when receiving messages?
no. they do not.
