How does a cell phone transmit sound faster than 741 MPH and how does the signal convert to sound?
A cell 'phone does not transmit sound. It transmits electromagnetic radiation. Sound is converted to and from an electromagnetic signal by the microphone and speaker.
What is an alternative term for an axon?
Dendrites: Unlike most axons, they receive signals from other neurons and pass the messages to the cell body of the neuron. Axons transmit impulses away from the cell body toward the axon endings/ terminals
Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
What conducts impulses toward the cell body?
Dendrites conduct impulses toward the cell body, having synapsed with the axons of other neurons.
What type of cell is in your brain and is shaped to send signals?
Neurons are one type of brain cell that sends and receives signals. Neurons have three parts: 1. cell body - where the nucleus is 2. axon - extends from the neuron 3. dendrites-branches that extend from the far end of the axon I like to think of it as a cell with a long arm that has branches at the end. The long arm has insulation (myelin) around it that makes it conduct signals faster than a non myelinated cell. Take two neurons whose axons extend toward each other so the dendrites are close. When the electric wave sent from the first cell reaches the dendrites at the far end, the signal, in the form of a molecule with and electric charge, moves to where the dendrite of the other neuron can catch the signal and send it on. You need at least 2 neurons to transmit a signal: one to make the signal and the other to receive it.

What will happen to the next nerve cell whet it gets 'hit' by neurotransmitters?
exited to transmit the signal
What is the function of the neurofibrils?
to generate and transmit nutrients in cell body.
Which neuron carries impulses toward the main cell body?
the axon carries impulses toward the main cell body
Whats the difference between the telegraph and the cell phones?
A telegraph relies on a wire to transmit a message to an individual on the receiving end. A cell phone is a wireless device that uses radio waves to transmit a signal.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
What obstacles did the cell phone makers have when they made the cell phone?
They needed to have a way to transmit the calls. Their solution was cell phone towers which allow the phones to carry a signal and make calls.
What are nerve Processes that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body?
Axons are processes that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body.
What conducts impulses toward the cell body?
Dendrites conduct impulses toward the cell body, having synapsed with the axons of other neurons.
How does a receptor in the cell membrane transmit a message to the cell?
The receptor induces changes in the metabolism and activity of a cell. In the process of signal transduction, ligand binding affects a cascading chemical change through the cell membrane.
