What chemicals are used to transmit impulses through the neurons?
the transmission of a nerve impulse along a neuron from one end to the other occurs as a result of chemical changes across the membrane of the neuron. The membrane of an unstimulated neuron is polarized that is there is a difference in electrical.
The movement of positively charged ions across the membrane of a neuron can produce what?
The movement of positively charged ions across the membrane of a neuron can produce action potential. Electrical potentials are commonly generated across the membranes of neurons as well.
How would a chemical that prevents the opening of voltage-regulated Na channels affect the function of a neuron?
neuron will only be capable of producing graded potentials
What are electrochemical impulses?
While a neural signal is chemically conveyed from one neuron to another by neurotransmitters, the electro-chemical neural impulse, which happens in the axon when the neuron fires, is called an action potential.
What messages provide chemical information that prevents or decreases the likelihood that the receiving neuron will fire?
Inhibitory Messages
What determine whether a neuron is unipolar bipolar 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.
Part of the nerve cell that first receives the nervous impulse is the?
The dendrite of a neuron usually receives a chemical signal from another neuron, although a cell body (soma), or sometimes even an axon, of another neuron can receive the signal.Synapses which occur between an axon and a dendrite are called axodendritic synapses, while synapses between an axon and a cell body are called axosomatic synapses, and synapses between an axon and an axon are called axoaxonic synapses.
What is bouton?
It the end of a dendrite where the signal gets transmitted from one neuron to another.
What are functions of synaptic junction?
To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.
What is the longest dendrite of a neuron?
the longest dendrite is I don't know this /;[
Why is the synapse not a structural feature of a neuron?
Because it is a small gap between the axon of one neuron and the receiving dendrite of another neuron.
What are the parts of the neuron that the messages travels through?
The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
How does a message travel through a single neuron?
When a message gets sent to a neuron from the dendrite it goes through the cell body to the tip of the dendrite where it leaps to the next dendrite.
What does a dendrite do in a nerve cell do?
It recieves the chemical signal from the terminal branches of a nearby neuron and sends it down the axon
What neuron conducts impulses toward the synapse?
All neurons'impulsestravel to the synapse of the neuron. The synapse is the end of the neuron where theimpulsecantravelto another neuron or the any other receptor cell in the body.
The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the?
dendrite
