Yes, it is true.

Dendrites: Arm-like processes that extend from the cell body of all neurons which receive signals. They are short, tapering, and have branching extensions and are usually found close to the cell body. Dendrites are unmyelinated (slow conductors).

Axons: Are single arm-like process that extends from the cell body of all neurons which generate and transmit nerve impulses. They can be long (up to ~ 1 meter) or short with diffuse branching at the end. Axons are myelinated (fast conductors).

Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by?

Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by dendrites, which are branched structures that extend from the cell body. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmit this information to the cell body for integration and processing.


Where on the neurons are the dendrites located?

Dendrites are branch-like structures that extend from the cell body of a neuron. They are responsible for receiving signals from other neurons and transmitting those signals to the cell body for processing. Dendrites are covered in synapses, which are the points of connection between neurons where information is passed along.


What connective tissue has cellular processes extend outward through canaliculi?

Osseous tissue (bone tissue) has cellular processes extend outward through canaliculi. These canaliculi allow for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes, the bone cells housed in lacunae.


Which type of bone cells have processes that lie in canaliculi?

Osteocytes are the bone cells that have processes that extend into canaliculi, which are small channels within the bone matrix. These processes allow osteocytes to communicate with each other and receive nutrients and signals necessary for bone maintenance and repair.


Do lower motor neurons have their cell bodies in the brain and their axons in the ganglia?

No, lower motor neurons have their cell bodies in the spinal cord or brainstem and their axons extend directly to the muscles they innervate. Ganglia are clusters of cell bodies located outside the central nervous system.

What are two processes that extend from the nerve systems?

Two processes that extend from the nerve cell body are dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive incoming signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, while axons carry outgoing signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.


What are the short fibers that extend from the neuron called?

The short fibers that extend from a neuron are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body of the neuron.


What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron what does each do?

The ones carrying the input are the dendrites, the ones carrying the output are the axons.

What is neuritic mean?

"Neuritic" refers to structures or processes related to neurons or nerve cells. Neurites are small projections that extend from the cell body of a neuron, including axons and dendrites. They play a key role in transmitting signals and information within the nervous system.

What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron?

The two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron are dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body, while axons transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or target cells.


What connective tissue has cellular processes extend outward through canaliculi?

Osseous tissue (bone tissue) has cellular processes extend outward through canaliculi. These canaliculi allow for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes, the bone cells housed in lacunae.


Why do you extend your arms when you are walking along the top of a narrow wall?

What is the name of the two lateral processes in the vertebrae?

The two lateral processes in the vertebrae are called the transverse processes. These bony projections extend laterally from the vertebral arch and serve as attachment points for muscles and ligaments, as well as articulation points for the ribs in the thoracic region.
