What composed of a cell bodydendritesand axon?
Nerve cell or neuron
What does the nerve cell include?
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
Which part of the neuron is responsible for generating a nerve impulse?
Axon
Difference between a neuron and a nerve?
A bundle of axons is a nerve. A neuron is the cell of the nervous system and is composed of dendrites, axon, and the cell body.
What is the nerve fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons?
The axon
What is a preganglionic neuron?
autonomic motor neuron that has its body in a peripheral ganglion and projects its (postganglionic) axon to an effector.
How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
Name the 3 main parts of a neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the dendrites, the axon, and the soma. The dendrites are the nerve endings, the axon is the body, and the soma is the cell body.
What is the long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron which is the conductor of nerve impulses?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
Extension of a neuron that sends impulses to other nerve cells or to muscles or glands?
axon
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
A nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal of one neuron to another neuron across a synaptic gap.
Do nerves contain axons?
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
