Which substance is also known as nerve glue?
Acetylcholine is also known as nerve glue because it is a neurotransmitter that helps transmit signals between nerve cells. It is involved in sending signals to control muscle movement, regulate heartbeat, and other autonomic functions.
When the cardiac cells are in resting and negatively charged state this is known as?
When cardiac cells are in a resting and negatively charged state, this is known as the resting membrane potential. This resting state allows the cells to be ready to receive and transmit electrical signals for proper heart function.
What are chemicals which relay amplify ans modulate signals between a neuron and another cell?
Neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine are chemicals that relay signals between neurons and other cells by binding to receptors and either exciting or inhibiting the receiving cell. These chemicals play a crucial role in modulating the strength and nature of signals in the nervous system.
Why do the cells of a redwood tree need oxygen?
The cells of a redwood tree need oxygen for cellular respiration, which is the process that converts glucose into usable energy. Oxygen is necessary for this process to occur and for the cells to function and grow.
Why do all the cells of your body need Oxygen?
All cells in the body need oxygen to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is essential for cells to carry out their functions and maintain cellular processes. Without oxygen, cells would not be able to generate enough energy to survive.
When your cells need energy they send signals to your brain how do these signals make you feel?
When your cells need energy, they release a signaling molecule called adenosine which can make you feel tired or fatigued. This signals your brain to increase alertness and activity to supply more energy to the cells.
Nerve cells send out signals?
Yes they do send out signals
What is a cell that can receive and transmit signals?
Actually all cells can send and receive signals. For example every cell has a CD95(FASr) which receives signals from natural killer cells or T cells and results in cell death. Also all cells send signals through cell membrane receptors to neighboring cells. These signals prevent neighboring cell colonies from growing too big.(The lack of these signals is one of the problems with certain cancer cells)
The receptor cells that convert light energy into neural signals are called?
The receptor cells that convert light energy into neural signals are called photoreceptor cells. These cells are located in the retina of the eye and are responsible for producing electrical signals in response to light stimulation.
What is a signal and what two kinds of signals control the cell cycle?
In biology, a signal is a molecule that carries information within cells or between cells. Two kinds of signals that control the cell cycle are stimulatory signals, which promote progression through the cell cycle, and inhibitory signals, which halt or slow down the cell cycle.
What is carried to body by cells?
signals
What cells contain process that receive and generate electrical signals to communicate with other cells?
Neurons are the cells that receive and generate electrical signals to communicate with other cells in the body. They are the primary cells of the nervous system responsible for transmitting information through electrical and chemical signals.
Can any cell perform phagocytosis?
No. Phagocytic cells need special structures/chemical signals/receptors to form pseudopods.
What cells have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials?
Nerve cells or neurons have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials. These signals travel along the nerve cells to communicate information within the nervous system.
How do signals from the recepter cells get to the brain?
nerves
What happens when cells do not respond the signals that normally regulate their growth?
Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. such cells called cancer cells divide uncontrollably and form masses of cells called tumors that can damage the surrounding tissues
Why do skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment?
Skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment to receive signals from the nervous system and to contract in response to those signals. The physical connection allows for the exchange of nutrients, waste removal, and the delivery of oxygen to the muscle cells. Additionally, the connection allows for the removal of heat generated during muscle contractions.
