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 junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates?
The question isn't clear enough. Does it mean the part that sends info. through the neuron (the axon)? Or does it mean the part that sends information to other neurons (the synapse)?
Do axon contain a nucleus?
No, the axon is a fiber that emerges from a neuron, while the nucleus is in the center of the neuron.
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
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
Where is the hillock of the neuron?
The nerve cell hillock is the beginning of the axon immediately after the soma. This is where the action potential originates.
The anatomical region of a multipolar neuron that has the lowest threshold for generating an action potential is?
Axon hillock

Which region of the cell body from which the axon originates?
The axon (in motor neurons) begins just distal to a slightly enlarged cell body structure called the axon hillock.
What is the part of the neuron that receives signals?
Dendrites are the receptors of a neuron.
Do axon contain a nucleus?
No, the axon is a fiber that emerges from a neuron, while the nucleus is in the center of the neuron.
What is an axon-terminal?
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.

The branching fibers of the axon end in axon terminals and link with parts of other neurons?
The axon terminals of one neuron links with dendrites of the neighboring neuron.
What is the highest number of axons a neuron can have?
A neuron can have at most one axon. However, an axon can branch - sometimes many times.
