∙ 10y agoThe neuron is made up of:
- the soma (neuron cell body), which contains the nucleus and other main organelles
- the dendrites (branching parts, stemming from the soma, which receive inputs from other neurons)
- the axon, which is the primary output conduit for the neuron, sending the action potential forward
- the myelin sheath, which surrounds different portions of the axon to aid in action potential conduction
- the axonal terminal, which is the end of the axon and contains neurotransmitter vesicles awaiting release into the synaptic cleft (the gap following the neuron, connecting to another neuron or muscle cell)

In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
What parts of a neuron is capable of generating a graded potential?
The dendrites portion of a neuron will generate a potential.
Why is the cell body of neuron in the trophic center of neuron?
The neuron cell body or soma is responsible for the nutrition and maintenance of of its peripheral parts such as the dendrites and axon. This makes the distances about equal from the center.
Parts of a multipolar neuron its order of receiving nerve impulses?
write the following parts of a multipolar neuron in the correct order(1-8) of receiving and sending the nerve impulse. Start with the dendrites as number one.
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 are the three parts of a neuron-?
The three main parts of a nueron are: the dendrites, the axon, and the cell body.
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
Structure that carries messages between the brain snd other parts of the body?
The Neuron, and in this case, a motor neuron or a sensory neuron.
What parts of a neuron is capable of generating a graded potential?
The dendrites portion of a neuron will generate a potential.
What neuron parts that does not have missile bodies?
Axon
What are the five parts of a reflex?
Five parts of a reflex arc are the receptor, sensory neuron (afferent), integration center, motor neuron (efferent), and effector.
What is the parts of an sensory neuron?
affrent , efferent, and inerneurons
What are 3 parts of a neuron?
Soma, axon, dendrite
What are the parts of neuron and its function?
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
What are the parts and function of neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
What are the parts of a neuron and what the different parts do?
parts: cell body, dendrites, and axon. i don't know what they do though..
What are the two parts the neuron is split up into?
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
