What else can I help you with?
Muscles receive messages from?
motor neurons.
The branchlike structures the receive messages from other neurons are called?
Axons
What is a part of a neuron that receives messages?
The dendrites are the part of a neuron that receives messages from other neurons. They receive chemical signals from neighboring neurons and transmit the information to the cell body.
The part of the neuron that is responsible for receiving information signals from other neurons is called?
Dendrites are the part of a neuron which receives chemical messages (neurotransmitters) through synapses.Mostly the dendrites receive messages from other neurons, but the cell bodies of neurons also receive direct synaptic inputs from other cells.
What is the cell in muscles that receives messages from motor neurons?
There is a special cell in our body that is part of the nervous system. It receives messages in the muscles sent from the motor neurons in our brain. These cells are called effectors.
What cells in your body send and receive messages?
The basic cells that the body uses for rapid communication and control are neurons. The cells that carry signals to muscles and glands are the motor neurons.
How does the brain send and receive messages from our body?
The brain sends and receives messages from the body through the nervous system. Nerve cells, or neurons, transmit electrical and chemical signals to communicate information. Sensory neurons carry signals from the body to the brain, while motor neurons send signals from the brain to the muscles and glands.
Incoming messages are first detected by what part of a neuron?
Incoming messages are first detected by the dendrites of a neuron, which receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.
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.
In what ways are neurons similar to cell and different?
cells are the building blocks of life, neurons are specific cells that send and receive motor messages that tell us to do simple things like walk, or blink
How neurons send messages?
The messages are carried by chemical messenger across the neurons (synapses). It is actually an enzyme which is released from one end of the synapse and which triggers the electrical message to pass through each cell from side to side.
How many functions of neurons in the nervous system?
Neurons are pathways for electrical messages to pass through. Their main function is to pass a message from one neuron to another. As a whole, they transmit these messages between a receptor (something that picks up a stimulus. A stimulus includes things such as temperature, pressure, pain etc.), the brain and an effector (something which carries out the response to the stimulus). There are three main types of neurons: Sensory neurons - receive message from receptor and transmit it to the -> Interneurons - receive message from sensory neurons and pass it on to the brain*. The brain responds and the interneurons pass the message on to the -> Motor neurons - receive message from interneurons and pass it on to an effector. *In the case of a reflex arc, where there is an unconscious response (e.g. touching a hot object) the message will bypass the brain and go straight from receptor to sensory to interneuron to motor to effector.
