What ability do neurons have that other cells don't?
Cells other than neurons undergo apoptosis and if neurons die they don't regenerate hencw their number reduces and even their injuries are difficult to treat and it can cause several neurological diseases unlike other cells .
In what ways are neurons similar to other cells?
Neurons vs. Other Cells Similarities with other cells:Neurons and other body cells both contain a nucleus that holds genetic information.Neurons and other body cells are surrounded by a membrane that protects the cell.The cell bodies of both cell types contain organelles that support the life of the cell, including mitochondria, Golgi bodies, and cytoplasm.Differences that make neurons unique:Unlike other body cells, neurons stop reproducing shortly after birth. Because of this, some parts of the brain have more neurons at birth than later in life because neurons die but are not replaced. While neurons do not reproduce, research has shown that new connections between neurons form throughout life.Neurons have a membrane that is designed to sends information to other cells. The axon and dendrites are specialized structures designed to transmit and receive information. The connections between cells are known as a synapses. Neurons release chemicals known as neurotransmitters into these synapses to communicate with other neurons.
When neurons die why are they not replaced?
ALZHERMERS SYNDROME in simple terms In these diseases, neurons- the brain cells responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting information- die and are not replaced. The current scientific literature makes one thing plain. As yet, there is no unifying hypothesis for the causes of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or many rarer degenerative brain diseases that cause dementia
Which cell types remain in non-dividing stage and do not complete the mitosis process?
muscle cells and nerve cells. E.G. Nerve cells can never be created again after they die.
Do brain cells die when you think?
No. Actually, the opposite should happen - by thinking, you strain certain cells, which then react by developing more synapses with other cells. Unused brain cells will degenerate synapses and eventually die.
How does ALS affect speech?
ALS causes motor neurons to die so that the brain.unable to send messages to the muscles telling them to move. Because the muscles are not functioning, they begin to atrophy. Muscles in the face and jaw can be affected.affecting a person's speech.
What is the rate that neurons die per day?
The average rate that neurons die per day are approximetly 1000 to 1350
What is spinal dessication?
Spinal desiccation is the process by which the discs of the spinal column die or develop atrophy. This causes considerable discomfort due to the reduced elasticity and direct contact between the discs.
Why does tau overexpression and deposits of amyloid beta protein inside and between neurons cause the neurons to die?
== ==
What will happen if hisher neurons failed to produced neurotransmitters?
he she will die!
What disease causes neurons in the brain to die?
Alzheimer's disease
Unused dendrites die off?
Cells i beleive do not die off , i am unsure about dentrites .they can be destroyed .by medicines .
What happens to synapses throughout life?
Synapses that are not in use will atrophy and die. We are born with more than we need and the ones we use strengthen, the rest die
How did Emily warren robling die?
Muscular atrophy. CLARIFICATION: According to a Wikipedia article on Washington Roebling, his wife, Emily Warren Roebling, died of stomach cancer. Her weakened condition from cancer could lead to muscular atrophy.
What will happen to a person if his neurons fail to produce neurotransmitters?
The nervous system can't transmit messages without neurotransmitters. A person will die if his neurons fail to produce them.
What happen if you have not neurons?
You die if you don't have neurons, which are nerve cells. Neurons from the brain stem automatically tell your chest and/or diaphragm to move to bring in air/oxygen, that is, to breathe, which is necessary to sustain the body. You also could not think, because the brain is composed of neurons. Nor could you move, because neurons tell muscles to contract. Nor could you eat, because neurons cause peristalsis in the gut to move food through it.
What ability do neurons have that other cells don't?
Cells other than neurons undergo apoptosis and if neurons die they don't regenerate hencw their number reduces and even their injuries are difficult to treat and it can cause several neurological diseases unlike other cells .
