Are nerves and nerons the same thing?

You may mean 'are nerves and neurons the same?' They are not the same Nerve : Any of the cordlike bundles of fibers made up of neurons through which sensory stimuli and motor impulses pass between the brain or other parts of the central nervous system and the eyes, glands, muscles, and other parts of the body. Nerves form a network of pathways for conducting information throughout the body. Neuron: Any of the impulse-conducting cells that constitute the brain, spinal column, and nerves, consisting of a nucleated cell body with one or more dendrites and a single axon. Also called nerve cell. (American heritage Dictionary)


The cells in your body are continuously disassembled and reassembled Which one what kinds of body cells lasts longest-that is turns over the least often?

Well until recently, the answer to your question would be brain and nerve tissue. However, there is new experimentation in nerve tissue regeneration that looks promising. But going back to old-school information, the reason you can relearn something after a brain injury is that even though the brain doesn't regenerate in many ways, it can reassign tasks to different areas that are underused and unharmed. The other thing that does not regenerate are the cillia hairs in your cochleas (ears). Every time one of those hairs falls out, you lose a little bit of your hearing ability. my answer is : NEURONS


What are the supporting cells of the nervous system?

glial cells (sometimes called neuroglia).In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cellsform a myellin sheath around axons, and in the central nervous system, Oligodendrocytes do the same thing for the neurons there; and Astrocytes (Astroglia) surround brain neurons to hold them in place, provide nutrients and oxygen to them, insulate neurons from one another, destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons, and possibly in some ways modulate neurotransmission.


What are the jobs of the nerve cells?

The job of the nerves is to transmit signals that the brain sends out to the rest of the body in order to tell it what to do. Every time you perform an action, such as typing an answer on Wiki Answers, your brain has to tell a specific part of your body exactly how to move in order to accomplish that task, and this message is transmitted very quickly through your nerves. Nerves also serve to transmit error messages back to your brain. This normally happens when they sense that something is wrong, so they immediately send a message to your brain telling you to stop this action right away. The brain then interprets this message and makes you feel pain, so you will be motivated to stop. Without our nerves, we wouldn't be able to feel pain, which isn't a good thing. Say, for example, you accidentally set your hand on a hot burner. Without nerves to send pain signals to your brain, your hand could burn to a crisp and you wouldn't even realize it! There are some people with nerve disorders that have this problem, and others that are wheelchair-bound do to a blockage where their nerves can't reach certain parts of their body to tell them how to move. Needless to say, nerves are very important.


Can a nerve Cell replace itself after injury?

One of two thing can happen (depending on just how damaged). If it is a sensory nerve, that will not carry sensory impulses to the CNS. You may have a numb feeling in a small area or a very large area. If it is a motor nerve, you may not be able to move a muscle (or a group of muscles). That really is paralyzed means.

Are neurons and nerves the same thing?

A neuron (or neurone) is an individual cell of the nervous system. Neurons communicate with one another and other tissues through long processes that extend from their cell bodies. There are different names for these processes; some are called dendrites, others are called axons. Often it is fine to be vague and just call them fibers. Fibers of multiple neurons serving a similar function can come together and be wrapped up in a piece of connective tissue. These fibers and their surrounding connective tissue are called a nerve.


How do nerve cells regulate?

nerve cells move due to the fluid blood in our body.As it is you know molecules or any other thing is free to move in fluids........................................Thanks that was anki

How are cytoplasm cells different from other cells?

There is no such thing as "cytoplasm cells".

What do human cells do?

Humans, like all multicellular organisms, have many different cells that do many different things. You have red blood cells to carry oxygen, white blood cells to fight off disease, muscle cells to move your body and organs, bone cells to support your weight, nerve cells to transmit messages throughout your body ... in short, there's just not one type of cells that "do" one thing.


How are the cells different from healthy cells and cells that have asthma?

There is no such thing as an asthmatic cell.

Do all cells have the same struction and function?

no because they are placed in different spots inside of your body, and if all of your cells did the same thing,your body would only have one function.

Is a nerve cell in a animal?

Yes, animals do have neve cells. Like any other living thing, nerve cells are contained. Even though some animals might have a nerve cell inspired by the letronophopea, it has its cord (connection) to the uroe methio. By the way some of these words you might not no...but we learnt them in class. Hope it helps! :)


When neurons die why are they not replaced?

ALZHERMERS SYNDROME in simple terms In these diseases, neurons- the brain cells responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting information- die and are not replaced. The current scientific literature makes one thing plain. As yet, there is no unifying hypothesis for the causes of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or many rarer degenerative brain diseases that cause dementia
