What is the long part of the neuron that extends out from the body cells?
the longest part of a nerve cell is called the Axon.
What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?
synaptic terminal
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron?
Terminal branches (aka end brushes) are at the end of a Motor Nerve (aka Efferent Nerve) and are in very close proximity to the muscle fibers.
The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the?
dendrite
Where neuron cell bodies located?
The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron. The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
What is the center part of a neuron called?
puke
Are the part of the neuron where chemicals called neurotransmitters are released?
The synaptic cleft is the area of the neuron that secretes neurotransmitters.
The part of the neuron which collects and combines information is called the?
soma
What is the part of the neuron that normally receives stimuli called?
A Dendrite
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 is the long part of the neuron that extends out from the body cells?
the longest part of a nerve cell is called the Axon.
What part of the neuron releases the neurons?
The axon terminals release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?
synaptic terminal
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron?
Terminal branches (aka end brushes) are at the end of a Motor Nerve (aka Efferent Nerve) and are in very close proximity to the muscle fibers.
The part of the neuron that normally receives stimuli is called?
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 part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Which part of the Schwann cell forms a neuron husk?
Motor Neuron
