The Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the neuron's soma and dendrites. Synapse's happens when contact is made by one neuron's axon and is received by another neuron's dendrite and soma. The synaptic signaling procedure is vital to positive neuron function.

What is the part of the neuron that receives impulses is called the?
Neural input happens at the dendrites (dendritic tree) of the neuron, but some neurons, notably the sympathetic, can receive input at the axon hillock (where the axon leaves the soma).
What part of the neuron sends information to others?
Presynaptic neuron sends postsynaptic receives
What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
Part of the nerve cell that first receives the nervous impulse is the?
The dendrite of a neuron usually receives a chemical signal from another neuron, although a cell body (soma), or sometimes even an axon, of another neuron can receive the signal.Synapses which occur between an axon and a dendrite are called axodendritic synapses, while synapses between an axon and a cell body are called axosomatic synapses, and synapses between an axon and an axon are called axoaxonic synapses.
When a neuron receives a stimulus that is very strong?
all or none fashion
What is the part of the neuron that normally receives stimuli called?
A Dendrite
What are the neuron processes that normally receive incoming stimuli are called?
dendrites
Branched region of the neuron which receives stimuli from the surrounding environment?
dendrite
What are he neuron called that detect stimuli in the skin and eyes?
sensory
Neuron receives a series of stimuli whose effect is excitatory but subthreshold?
If a neuron receives a series of stimuli that have an excitatory effect but do not reach the threshold for action potential initiation, the neuron will not fire. This is because the individual stimuli do not generate a strong enough depolarization to reach the threshold. However, if enough subthreshold stimuli are received in a short period of time, they can summate and reach the threshold, generating an action potential.

What is a neuron that carries stimuli from the sense organ to the central nervous system?
sensory neuron..
What is the work of neuron?
They transmit nerve impulses and stimuli.
What is the term for the cell that receives a signal at a synapse?
The cell receiving the signal at the synapse is called the postsynaptic neuron.
How does a neuron indicate the strength of a stimulus?
A neuron conveys information about the strength of stimuli by varying the rate in which the stimulus is fired.
What part of the neuron sends information to others?
Presynaptic neuron sends postsynaptic receives
What type of cell sends and receives messages?
Neuron
