How is the structure of the myelin sheath related to its function?
Myelin sheath is the "cover" if you like of nerves. It's structure is important in helping pass the nerve impulses along it's axon, from the body, to the terminal buttons. Long story short, a degeneration of the Myelin sheath leads to interrupted, or non existent impulses, and causes a very well known disease, called MS (multiple sclerosis)
How can a heart murmur affect an ECG?
It won't. But in the long term the murmur (depending on which valve is affected) will cause hypertrophy of cardiac muscles for the different ventricles/atria. And the hypertrophy will be detected by the ECG because it will change the cardiac axis. Murmurs are easily heard using a stethoscope so and ECG isn't useful. An ECG monitors the electric impulses of the heart muscle - so better to see heart blocks, infarcts, hypertrophy, AF, SVT etc
Why do map projections distort some parts of the earth?
The problem with making maps is that maps are flat and the earth isn't. In order to represent a curved surface on a flat surface, things have to be distorted.The only way to represent the earth's surface accurately in every way is on a globe.
How long do batteries last in an iDog?
not long
Is long an adverb or adjective?
The word 'long' is both an adjective and an adverb. The adjective 'long' describes a noun; The adverb long modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb. Examples:adjective: This is the long answer to your question.adverb: The dog ran after the ball.adverb: We came in a long black limo.adverb:They came long after the rest of the family.The word 'long is also a noun, a word for a clothing size for tall people.
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.
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
What carries impulses away from the cell body?
Axons carry impulses away from the cell body of a neuron. They are long, slender projections that transmit electrical impulses to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Do axon contain a nucleus?
No, axons do not contain a nucleus. They are long, slender projections of a nerve cell that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells. The cell body of the neuron contains the nucleus which is responsible for controlling the functions of the cell.
What is the long trunk of a neuron called?
The long trunk of a neuron is called an axon. The axon is responsible for conducting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Part of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses?
Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
Why do the sensory neuron has short axon and long dendrites?
sensory and motor neurons are sometimes very long so that the impulses can be carried away from the body very quickly. in the motor neuron the impulses "jump" over the fatty tissue to the Node Of Ranvier.
What Carries nerve impulses over long distances?
Nerve impulses are carried over long distances in the body by specialized cells called neurons. Neurons have long projections called axons that transmit electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials travel along the axon until they reach the next neuron or target cell, enabling communication between different parts of the body.
Which elongated cell can conduct impulses?
A neuron is an elongated cell that can conduct impulses. Neurons have specialized structures called axons that transmit electrical signals over long distances within the body.
A is for what part of the neurone that carries impulses away from the cell body?
A is for the axon, which is a long, thin extension of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells.
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.
What is a long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron?
An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.
