What else can I help you with?
Also called a nerve impulse transmitted by axons?
action potential
The axons of the retina culminate in what nerve?
the axons of the retina culminate in the optic nerve which forms a blind spot on the retina
Is a nerve message also called a synapse?
Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.
What substance aids the transmission of nerve impulses?
Acetylcholine is one of many neurotransmitters. It's the primary NT of voluntary muscular movement. Myelin insulates the axons, allowing nerve impulses to be transmitted faster.
What are Bundles of axons are called?
Bundles of axons are called nerves. Nerves transmit electrical signals between the brain and other parts of the body.
What are the structures at the end of axons?
nerve
What tissue has an axon?
Axons are part of nerve tissue, which is found within the nervous system. Nerve tissue is composed of neurons that contain axons for carrying nerve impulses.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What part of the nerve are Axons and dendrites?
cell
Do the axons of retinal ganglion cells form the optic nerve?
Yes. The Retinal Ganglion Cell axons form the optic nerve.
Where do axons from the olfactory nerve project to?
Axons from the olfactory nerve project to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb processes and relays information about smells to other areas of the brain, such as the olfactory cortex, where scent perception occurs.
Do taste buds have axons to transport their information to the brain?
Taste buds do not have axons themselves; instead, they contain taste receptor cells that respond to tastants. These receptor cells release neurotransmitters when activated, which then stimulate the afferent nerve fibers associated with the taste buds. These nerve fibers, which do have axons, carry taste information to the brain through cranial nerves, primarily the facial nerve (VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), and vagus nerve (X). Thus, while taste buds don't have axons, they communicate with the brain via the axons of associated nerve fibers.
