Do dendrites transmit infromation away from the cell body towards other neurons or to the muscles and glands?

For a long time it was thought that dendrites only RECEIVE information. But it is true that they actually release chemical transmitters and can thus transmit information to another neuron, muscle, or gland.

Neurons transmit signals acrossed a?
Neurons transmit signals across a synapse
Where on the neurons are the dendrites located?
Around the cell body
The cytoplasmic extensions that provide the main receptive surfaces for neurons are what?
dendrites
Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called?
Axons of neurons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as dendrites.
What function type are motor neurons?
motor neurons carry message from inter neurons and transmit it to different parts of the body.
Is it true that Dendrites are branching cytoplasmic projections of neurons that receive impulses and transmit them to the cell body?
true
Which part of the neuron acts as a receiver for nerve impulses?
potassuimaxon terminals transmit info from their neuron to another, while dendrites receive info from other neurons.
Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of what?
They are sensory neurons. :)
Short branched extensions of a neuron?
In neurons, short, tapering, diffusely branched processes from the cell body are known as the dendrites. If the dendrites are short/tapering and diffusely branched, then this is referring to the dendrites of motor neurons.
Dendrites are branching extensions of?
neurons
Do axons carry messages received by the dendrites to other neurons?
Yes! The axon carries messages received by the dendrites to other neurons.
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 do dendrites do for the neuron?
Dendrites receive inputs from other neurons, via synapses.
What cells transmit and receive impulses?
nervous tissue.
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What neurons receive information from sensory organs?
Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
