The small gap between adjacent neurons is?
snaptic or snapse
What happens if motor neurons are damaged?
Motor neuron involve the muscles. If they are damaged, then the muscle that they are connected to will not work.
What are the two types of nervous tissue?
neurons (brain cells) & neuroglia (support)---------------------------------------------------Multipolar Neurons (3+ processes) They are the most common neuron type in humans (more than 99% of neurons belong to this class) and the major neuron type in the CNS Bipolar Neurons Bipolar neurons are spindle-shaped, with a dendrite at one end and an axon at the other . An example can be found in the light-sensitive retina of the eye. Unipolar Neurons Sensory neurons have only a single process or fibre which divides close to the cell body into two main branches (axon and dendrite). Because of their structure they are often referred to as unipolar neurons.
A knee-jerk reflex employs motor neurons and what?
it employs sensory and motor neurons
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
Can undamaged neurons make new connection with damaged neurons?
yes
Do neurons grow new branches?
Yes
The small gap between adjacent neurons is?
snaptic or snapse
True or false Nodes of Ranvier occur between adjacent neurons?
True
Could damaged neurons in the CNS multiply and grow back?
no
What happens if motor neurons are damaged?
Motor neuron involve the muscles. If they are damaged, then the muscle that they are connected to will not work.
What type of chemical messenger is released from neurons to activate an adjacent cell?
In the cytoplasm of their target cells
How do motor neurons receive instructions from adjacent neurons?
These instructions are received in the form of an impulse stimulation of a particular protein channel on the dendrite by a neurotransmitter termed acetycholine (ACh).
How do you keep your neurons healthy?
to make you neurons system healthy eat food that good to u, like veges and fruits, eat right amount food for you. Don't smoke and don't drink alcohol.
How do you keep your neurons system healthy?
to make you neurons system healthy eat food that good to u, like veges and fruits, eat right amount food for you. Don't smoke and don't drink alcohol.
Do some neurons lack an axon and communicate only with adjacent neurons?
If they are neurons they have an axon, some cell types do communicate using gap-junctions. Yes, some complex sensory organs ( in the retina and organ of Corti for example) do not have axons. These cells liberate transmitter from their soma directly onto postsynaptic neurons in proportion to the membrane potential change they experience.
How can you help your body maintain healthy neurons that coordinates with each other?
avoid to jump and to slip
