Which connective tissue layer directly surrounds each axon in a nerve?
A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium.
What is the fatty substance that speeds up transmission of impulses and surrounds the axon of a neuron?
The fatty tissue surrounding the axon of a neuron is called myelin.
What does not belong axon terminal synaptic knob bouton axon collateral?
axon collateral
In a typical neuron sheaths of fatty tissue are called?
In a typical neuron, sheaths of fatty tissue are called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath surrounds parts of the axon of a nerve cell which speeds up neurotransmitters.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
What surrounds a single long axon that leaves many gaps?
dendrites
What speeds up the passage of electrical messages by acting as a insulator of the neuronal signal?
The Myelin Sheath that surrounds the axon insulates the axon but also increases the speed of the message traveling down it.
It insulates the axon of the neuron?
An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
Which connective tissue layer directly surrounds each axon in a nerve?
A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium.
What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
What is the fatty substance that speeds up transmission of impulses and surrounds the axon of a neuron?
The fatty tissue surrounding the axon of a neuron is called myelin.
What does not belong axon terminal synaptic knob bouton axon collateral?
axon collateral
In a typical neuron sheaths of fatty tissue are called?
In a typical neuron, sheaths of fatty tissue are called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath surrounds parts of the axon of a nerve cell which speeds up neurotransmitters.
Parts of a neuron include?
dendrites -Apex
The axon is made up of?
what is the axon made of
The axon is connected to the soma by the?
axon hillock
What is a axon hillock?
An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to the axon.
