What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
These are called 'dendrites'
What happens in the neurolemma as the result of an action potential?
It provides insulation to the axons and dendrites during depolarization or action potential.
Where is the dendrites located at?
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
Is dendrites a structure of a neuron?
Yes, dendrites are the input structures of a neuron.
What structures carry information toward the neurosoma?
dendrites
Short branched extensions of a neuron?
In neurons, short, tapering, diffusely branched processes from the cell body are known as the dendrites. If the dendrites are short/tapering and diffusely branched, then this is referring to the dendrites of motor neurons.
What do dendrites connect?
Dendrites connect to other receptive cell (ie. Receptors)
What is dendrites function?
Assuming that the question is What is the function of the dendrites? The answer is: Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
What happens when you stimulate an axon in the middle?
Axons have no receptors for stimuli, only the dendrites off of the soma are capable of having receptors for different stimuli
From what two places does the nervous system receive information?
From the dendrites and axon.
Why dendrites come from the greek word tree?
dendrites < δενδρίτες < δένδρο [thendro] = tree
