What do dendrites do for the neuron?
Dendrites receive inputs from other neurons, via synapses.
Dendrites are branching extensions of?
neurons that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. They are covered in dendritic spines, where synapses with other neurons are formed.
Short branched extensions through which neurons receive signals?
dendrites
The cytoplasmic extensions that provide the main receptive surfaces for neurons are what?
dendrites
Short branched extensions of a neuron?
In neurons, short, tapering, diffusely branched processes from the cell body are known as the dendrites. If the dendrites are short/tapering and diffusely branched, then this is referring to the dendrites of motor neurons.
Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called?
Axons of neurons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as dendrites.
What part of a neuron transmits information to other neurons?
Dendrites receive information from other neurons. A dendrite is a short branched extension of a nerve cell where impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from other nerve cells?
dendrites
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from what other nerve cells?
dendrites.
Which structures pertain to neurons?
Synapses, dendrites, dendritic spines (bumps on dendrites where synapses are often found), dendritic arbors (tree-like projections of dendrites), somas (body of neuron), axon hillocks (where a summation of input impulses may initiate an action potential or spike), axons, myelin sheaths (on myelinated axons), and axon terminals (containing vesicles of neurotransmitters).
What is the function of a neuron's dendries?
In general, but not always, dendrites receive neurochemical information from neurotransmitters released by axons. Dendrites are branched extensions of the neuronal cell body, or soma, that receive information from other neurons. The dendrite is the post-synaptic portion of many synapses within the nervous system that contains synaptic receptors that bind to neurotransmitters and respond by excitation or inhibition of the membrane potential.
How is the nerve signal transmitted across the synaptic cleft?
Nerve impulses are collected from neighbouring neurons through branched extensions or 'dendrites'. They enter the neuronal cell body for processing and are then propagated along... travel at definite rates along axons which split or 'bifurcate' into thousands of branches which terminate as 'axon terminals' also known as 'synaptic knobs' and 'synaptic buttons'. Axon terminals connect with dendrites of neigbouring neurons at specialized points of contact known as 'neural junctions', 'synaptic junctions' or 'synapses'.
