What else can I help you with?
Do nerves contain the axons of sensory and motor neurons?
Yes, nerves contain axons of both sensory neurons, which carry information from the body to the brain, and motor neurons, which carry instructions from the brain to the muscles and glands. The axons of sensory and motor neurons are bundled together within nerves to transmit signals throughout the body.
What is the key difference in the functions of dendrites and axons in a neuron?
The key difference between dendrites and axons in a neuron is that 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 cells.
Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called?
Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called dendrites, which receive signals from other neurons, and axons, which transmit signals to other neurons. These structures form the basic communication network within the brain and nervous system.
Is neurons short hair like fibers that receives information?
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals in the body. They have long, slender extensions called dendrites and axons that allow them to communicate with other neurons. Dendrites receive incoming signals, while axons transmit signals to other neurons or cells.
The term that refers to groups of myelinated axons from many neurons supported by neuroglia is?
White matter (myelin has a whitish color)
Are unmyelinated axons in the cerebral cortex?
Yes, unmyelinated axons are present in the cerebral cortex. While many neurons in the cerebral cortex have myelinated axons, some interneurons and shorter local circuit neurons have unmyelinated axons. These unmyelinated axons play a role in the local processing and communication within the cortex.
The cerebral cortex is the:a.gray matter, the axons and dendrites of neuronsb.gray matter, the cell bodies of neurons?
A.) The grey matter, the axons and dendrites of neurons.
What are the long arms of neurons called?
axons
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is the?
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is called the ventral root. There's also the axons of motor neurons and axons of sensory neurons.
Groups of axons and dendrites in the PNS are called?
A group of axons in the CNS is most likely referring to the tracts of neurons that are found in the spinal cord.
When your hit in the head do you damage the neurons in your brain or the axons?
When you are hit in the head, both neurons and axons can sustain damage. Neurons are the specialized cells responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the brain, while axons are long, slender projections that extend from neurons and transmit those signals to other neurons or tissues. Impact to the head can cause direct damage to neurons and axons, leading to functional impairment or cell death.
Do nerves contain the axons of sensory and motor neurons?
Yes, nerves contain axons of both sensory neurons, which carry information from the body to the brain, and motor neurons, which carry instructions from the brain to the muscles and glands. The axons of sensory and motor neurons are bundled together within nerves to transmit signals throughout the body.
Myelinated neurons are embedded in what?
the axons of myelinated neurons are embeded in a protective covering of gray matter.
What neurons normally have the shortest axons?
Interneurons typically have the shortest axons in the nervous system. They are responsible for processing information and signaling between sensory and motor neurons within the central nervous system.
Axons and dendrites is another word for?
Axons are the output element of a neuron, and dendrites are the input elements of a neuron.
What are neurons made up of?
Cell body, dendrites, and axons
What are the thin chain-like extensions of the neurons called?
Axons
