What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?
nerve impulses
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
Why nerve cell long and thin like a wire?
People often refer to nerve cells as wires, as they carry electrical impulses through them, like a wire would carry similar data.
Which two elements are needed to help nerve cells send electrical signals?
It's Sodium and Potassium are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses
What is the function and adaptation of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have many adaptions that make them functional. Some of these adaptions include longer axons in order to deliver action potentials a long distance. The dendrites carry the nerve impulses to the cell body. The myelin sheath increases the rate of transmission of nerve impulses.
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
Do nerve cells carry electrical impulses?
Of course they do. They are modified for that
What is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses toward the cells?
Dendrite is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell.
What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?
nerve impulses
What carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.
What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
What cells carry impulses from sense organs to the brain and spinal cord?
Neurons (nerve cells)
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
How is the nerve special?
Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.
What information do nerve impulses require?
Nerve impulses do not carry information, they only carry impulses. It is the brain and spinal cord that interpret that impulse into information.
What are the functions of hormones in the body?
Hormones are called "chemical messengers". They carry information to cells in a way similar to nerve impulses. The nerve impulses are cell to cell. Hormones direct activities.
