What will happen in the cell if it were to malfunction or die?
then, the cell is said to be cancerous. soon, these cells divide, and the person gets cancer.
What can happen if a cell were to get too large for the amount of DNA it has?
A cell that is to large will either starve it self to death or eventually explode.
When light is absorbed by a rod cell what happens?
The optic nerve then gets triggered, and sends a signal to the brain. Our amazing optical centers then translate the signals into an image of what we're seeing.
Describe how the body gets rid of cell waste?
Vacuoles merge with the cell membrane and then open
What is the roll of the cell membrane?
surrounds he cell and controls what gets in or out of the cell
What is the point at which a nerve impulse is sent from one nerve cell to another?
It diffuses across a small gap called a synapse between the two nerve cells. It is passed as a neurotransmitter (in chemical sacs). They reach the end of one cell and the impulse is converted into neurotransmitters, which are released from that cell, diffuse across the gap, and land on the receptor site, where they are converted back into electrical impulses.
What happens when a nerve cell is stimulated by another nerve cell?
they go nerve to nerve till it gets to the brain first is a nerve then the dendrite then the brian
Which part of the neuron is capable of generating an action potiential?
When a neuron gets excited from a neighboring cell (from neurotransmitters) it gets 'leaky' to certain ions like sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride - and in doing so its state of electrical excitability changes. If it changes by just the right amount then special proteins called 'voltage-gated ion channels' will open allowing a huge influx of even more ions (usually sodium) causing a wave of electrical charge to flow away from the cell body down its axon to its axon terminal - where it will then release its neurotransmitters.
When the action potential gets to the end of the axon?
When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).
What would happen to the spinal nerves in areas of malpositioned or slipped discs?
The nerve gets pinched between the vertebrae.
What happen when the cell cycle gets out of cycle?
then eather it's mutated or will die
Does the nerve cell give us sensitivity?
In part, yes. The nerve cell is what ensures the message of an external or internal stimulus gets to the brain so we are consiously aware of that stimulus. However, in order for a nerve cell to get the message, it must receive an input from a receptor. As such, the receptors at the end of a nerve cell are the most directly responsible for our sensitivity. Some examples of the receptors are: - nociceptors - mechanoreceptors (meissners corpuscles, etc.) - prorioreceptors (muscle spindles) - chemoreceptors (taste buds)
Why are Acetylcholine and Norepinephrine common neurotransmitters?
acetylcholine and norepinephrine are both excitatory neurotransmitters Acetylcholine (learning and memory) Nor-epinephrine gets you fired up (flight or flight) and also gets you focused. Drdenisep@aol.com

What would happen if a cell face gets large?
i really dont know! help!! LOL
What would happen to the cell membrane when the cell gets bigger?
the membrane stretches and adds more material and subsance so it is able to stretch
How do cell in you're body get energy?
Cellular respiration is right. The four functions that require energy are movement, caused by muscle cells. Making proteins or enzymes and cell division caused by all or many cells. And sending nerve impulses which is caused by nerve cells.
