What is the main function of axons?
to carry the message in the neuron away from the dendrite.
What are the short strands branching out from a neuron that carry message to the cell body called?
dendrites
What part of the neuron carry the message from the brain to muscles of your hands and backbone?
Messages from the neuron always travel from the cell body down the axon.
What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
What part of the neuron would be responsible for notifing the brain that you hurt yourself?
The sensory neurons in your peripheral nervous system are responsible for detecting pain signals from your body and transmitting them to your brain. These neurons are equipped with specialized receptors that respond to stimuli like temperature, pressure, and tissue damage, sending electrical signals along nerve pathways to your brain to signal pain.
What bridges the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that bridge the gap, known as the synaptic cleft, between a neuron sending a message (presynaptic neuron) and the neuron receiving it (postsynaptic neuron). These neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron in response to an electrical signal and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing changes in its electrical activity.
Define relay neuron?
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron
What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters
What is a neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction called a?
A neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction is called a presynaptic neuron. This neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating the transmission of the signal. The junction between the two neurons is known as the synapse.
Which part of the neuron can carry information for long distances?
The axon is the part of the neuron that can carry information for long distances.
What is the purpose of neurotransmitters-?
A neuron is a cell that is in the brain and it contains neurotransmitters. They are released from one neuron in order to send a message to another cell.
