Actually all cells can send and receive signals. For example every cell has a CD95(FASr) which receives signals from natural killer cells or T cells and results in cell death. Also all cells send signals through cell membrane receptors to neighboring cells. These signals prevent neighboring cell colonies from growing too big.(The lack of these signals is one of the problems with certain cancer cells)

Is a cell membrane a cell that can receive and transmit signals?

no.


How do the functions of axons and dendrites compare in the transmission of signals within a neuron?

Axons transmit signals away from the cell body of a neuron, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons. Axons are responsible for sending electrical impulses, known as action potentials, to communicate with other neurons or muscles. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive these signals and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. In summary, axons transmit signals away from the neuron, while dendrites receive signals and transmit them towards the cell body.


What kind of waved a cell phone telephone used to transmit and receive signals?

Mobile phones transmit and receive date and calls in the microwave section of the radio spectrum.


How are radio waves used in cell phones to transmit and receive signals for communication?

Radio waves are used in cell phones to transmit and receive signals by converting sound and data into electromagnetic waves that travel through the air to nearby cell towers. These towers then relay the signals to other cell phones or the internet, allowing for communication between devices.


The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the?

dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body for processing.


What are the two types of nerve processes?

The two types of nerve processes are axons and dendrites. Axons transmit signals away from the cell body, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.


What carries impulse toward the cell body of a neuron?

Dendrites carry impulses toward the cell body of a neuron. They receive signals from other neurons and transmit those signals to the cell body for processing.


What cell transmits and receive nervous-system signals?

The dendrites collect information from other cells (afferent) or send information to other cells (efferent). The afferent dentrites are stimulated by chmicals from sensory cells. The efferent dentrites send chemical signals to other cells.


Do cellphones use microwaves?

Yes, cellphones use microwaves to transmit and receive signals to and from cell towers. Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that allows for wireless communication between cellphones and the network infrastructure.


What is A specialized that can receive and transmit signals to other cells like it called?

A specialized cell that can receive and transmit signals to other cells like it is called a neuron. Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting information throughout the body through electrical and chemical signals.


Basic unit of nervous system?

The basic unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit signals in the form of electrical impulses to communicate information throughout the body. They have a cell body, dendrites to receive signals, and an axon to transmit signals.


What is the key difference in the functions of dendrites and axons in a neuron?

The key difference between dendrites and axons in a neuron is that dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body, while axons transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or cells.
