What else can I help you with?
What molecule is released from synaptic vesicles and serves as the means of communication from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell?
The molecule released from synaptic vesicles is called neurotransmitter. It acts as the chemical messenger that transmits signals between neurons or from neurons to other cells such as muscle cells or gland cells. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
What role does the principal neuron play in the neural circuitry of the brain?
The principal neuron serves as the main communication hub in the neural circuitry of the brain, transmitting electrical signals to other neurons and coordinating the flow of information throughout the brain.
What is the space between neurons where neurotransmitters cross called?
The space between neurons where neurotransmitters cross is called the synapse. It serves as the junction between two communicating neurons, allowing for the transmission of chemical signals from one neuron to another.
What serves as a supportive framework for the neuron?
the sex is the supportive framework for the neuron.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
What are the two divisions of CNS?
The two divisions of the central nervous system (CNS) are the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information as well as controlling body functions, while the spinal cord mainly serves as a pathway for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
When a sensory neuron is excited by some of energy the resulting graded potential is called?
The resulting graded potential is called a receptor potential. This potential is generated in response to a stimulus and serves to initiate the transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system.
A molecule that is released from synaptic vesicles and serves as the means of communication from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell?
Neurotransmitter.
What part of the brain serves as a switching station for sensory input?
The thalamus serves as a switching station for sensory input in the brain. It receives information from various sensory systems and relays it to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex for further processing.
The serves as a relay station between the hindbrain and the forebrain?
midbrain
What is the function of the Internal Capsule?
The internal capsule is a white matter structure in the brain that serves as a major pathway for communication between different regions of the brain. It carries motor and sensory fibers to and from the cerebral cortex, facilitating voluntary movement, sensory perception, and other functions.
In a neuron the myelin sheath serves to insulate?
This insulation acts to increase the rate of transmission of signals. The Myelin Sheath of a neuron consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity.
What is the spinal cord a extension of?
The spinal cord is an extension of the brain, specifically the brainstem. It serves as a major pathway for communication between the brain and the rest of the body, transmitting sensory and motor signals to and from the brain.
