∙ 13y agoThe axon is the longest part of the neuron, and its main purpose of the axon is to carry the signal from the cell body of one axon to the dendrite of another axon, or directly to the target organ.

The axons do carry information from the nerve cells to the other cells in the human body.

What substance is found in synaptic vesicles of the axon terminal what role does it play in neurotransmissions?
Acethylcholine
What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
What is the role of a dendrite in the neuron?
It receives impulses from other neurons, and then sends those nerve impulses to the body of the cell, where they are added together at the axon hillock, and if they provide a sufficient strength (voltage, potential), an action potential will fire in the output of the neuron, the axon.
Is and axon bulb and an axon hillock the same thing?
axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *
What carries impulses away from the cell body?
The axon carries information from one neuron to another while the dendrites of a neuron receive information from other neurons
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is the extension of a neuron and it sends nerve impulses away from the cell. In simpler words it is the "tail" of a nerve cell which sends messages to other cells.
What substance is found in synaptic vesicles of the axon terminal what role does it play in neurotransmissions?
Acethylcholine
How are nerve impulses prevented from traveling the wrong way on axon?
On the axon hillock, there is a concentration of sodium channels whose role are to initiate the depolarization and signal transmission allong the axon. Once the all or none threshold is reached, depolarization occurs in a cascade unidirectional along the length of the axon, with potassium channels open just following the sodium-channel mediated depolarization, such that there is no back-propagation of the signal.
What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
What does not belong axon terminal synaptic knob bouton axon collateral?
axon collateral
The axon is made up of?
what is the axon made of
The axon is connected to the soma by the?
axon hillock
What is a axon hillock?
An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to the axon.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
What is the role of a dendrite in the neuron?
It receives impulses from other neurons, and then sends those nerve impulses to the body of the cell, where they are added together at the axon hillock, and if they provide a sufficient strength (voltage, potential), an action potential will fire in the output of the neuron, the axon.

What synapses release acetylcholine?
sympathetic preganglionic axon parasympathetic preganglionic axon parasympathetic postganglionic axon
