The soma
What else can I help you with?
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.
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)
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses to the body?
Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
Site of the nucleus and most important metabolic area?
The nucleus is the information center of the cell, containing the genetic material (DNA). The cytoplasm, where most metabolic reactions occur, surrounds the nucleus and contains organelles like mitochondria for energy production and ribosomes for protein synthesis.
Clusters of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in the brain are called?
Clusters of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in the brain are called nuclei.
What part of the neuron will NOT regenerate once destroyed?
The neuronal cell body, also known as the soma, does not regenerate once destroyed. Once damaged, the cell body cannot regrow, and the neuron will not be able to function properly without it.
What part of the neuron carries impulses away from the neuron?
Axons send information away from a cell body.
What is a paraneoplastic antibody panel?
Paraneoplastic syndrome is a condition where cancerous cells in your body affect your Central Nervous System - Almost like an autoimmune response to these cells that don't belong. The Paraneoplastic panel can be done on Serum and CSF (Cerebral Spinal Fluid) This Panel includes the following Screens (They are very expensive tests)- Some people have this disorder before cancer or tumor is even found in the body - This disorder is commonly found in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer Neuronal Nuclear Antibody (ANNA) IgG Screen, by IFA Purkinje Cell Antibody, Screen Purkinje Cell Antibody, Titer Neuronal Nuclear Antibody (ANNA) Reflex IFA Titer, IgG Neuronal Nuclear Antibody IgG, Immunoblot Anti-Hu Neuronal Nuclear Antibody IgG, Immunoblot Anti-Ri Neuronal Antibody IgG, Immunoblot Anti-Hu Neuronal Antibody IgG, Immunoblot Anti-Ri Neuronal Antibody IgG, Immunoblot Anti-Yo
What portion of a nerve cell which contains the nucleus and most of the metabolic machinery?
Mitochondria produce cellular energy in the the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and are the metabolic 'powerhouses' of the cell.For A & P I --> Neuronal cell body
Part of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses?
Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
What is white matter and gray matter in the brain?
The gray matter consists of neuronal cell bodies where the "action" happens. The white matter of the brain ismyelinated (insulated) axons that transmit messages from one neuron cell body to another, a muscle cell, or a gland.
What is the cell body has many short strands branching out from it is called what?
The structure you're referring to is called dendrites. Dendrites are specialized extensions of the cell body in neurons that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.
