Which cell will help an axon regrow from the soma?
schwann cells
What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.
Where neuron cell bodies located?
The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron. The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
What is the structure of neuron?
The simplest answer is: dendrites, soma, axon.Neurons have inputs called dendrites, a cell body called a soma, a portion of the soma called the axon hillock which determines whether or not a sufficiently strong impulse has reached it to fire the neuron, an axon which is the output of the neuron, axon terminals which contain vesicles of neurotransmitters, ending at a synapse which is comprised of the axon terminals, a gap called the synaptic cleft, and the dendrites of the next neuron.Neurons - are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. These specialized cells are the information-processing units of the brain responsible for receiving and transmitting information. Each part of the neuron plays a role in the communication of information throughout the body
What kind of neuron has a soma with a dendrite on one side and an axon on the other?
bipolar
The axon is connected to the soma by the?
axon hillock
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
What is the name of the movement of materials up an axon toward the soma called?
Pons
What structure contains the cell body (soma) of a sensory nerve receiving sensory information from the skin?
A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon. The sensory nerve cells receiving information from the skin are pseudounipolar cells having two axon. One axon extends centrally towards the spinal cord and the other axon extends towards the skin. The soma of these nerve cells having neurofilaments of specialized proteins receive sensory information through electric and chemical signals called neurotransmitters.A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon.

The soma forms a cone shaped as it projects to form an axon?
Axon Hillock
What are the 4 parts of neuron?
axon terminal myeline sheathdendritesneruo transmitters
What are 3 parts of a neuron?
Soma, axon, dendrite
Name the 3 main parts of a neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the dendrites, the axon, and the soma. The dendrites are the nerve endings, the axon is the body, and the soma is the cell body.
Which cell will help an axon regrow from the soma?
schwann cells
Which part of a neuron is attached to the soma and carries messages out to other cells?
Apex question is which is a part of a neuron that sends out messages answer axon
What part of the neuron that facilitates synaptic transmission of a signals is called?
the part that facilitates the the transmission of signals is collectively known as the axon but more peculiarly known as the nerve endings.
What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.
