A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
What else can I help you with?
Is the vagus nerve sympathetic or parasympathetic in its function?
The vagus nerve is primarily parasympathetic in its function.
Is a nerve cell a specialised cell?
It is specialised by being a long thin cell that is insulated to carry electrical messages around the body. x When you hurt yourself e.g. burn yourself your immediate reaction is to get away from the heat, this is because we can sence pain due to our nerve cells which then carry an electrical message to your brain which then says to get away from the source of pain.
What is the function of the nerve cells?
The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.
What is mixed neuron?
A mixed neuron is a type of nerve cell that contains both sensory and motor functions within a single cell body. These neurons are found in the peripheral nervous system and can transmit both sensory information from the body to the brain and motor signals from the brain to the muscles.
What is the function of the ventral root of a spinal nerve?
The ventral root of a spinal nerve contains efferent motor neurons that carry signals away from the spinal cord to muscles and glands in the body. These motor neurons control voluntary movements and autonomic functions.
Does a nerve cell carry messages in the body?
yes, that is their main function.
Why is a red blood cell specialised?
its a specialised cell because its characteristics are adapted to its function. for example, the red blood cell is round and flat so it can carry oxygen efficiently
How does a nerve cell function in a human?
The function of a nerve cell is to carry messages around someones body. To adapt to their job, they're very long and are branched at each end. Nerve cells also receive, carry and pass electrical impulses through someones body.
Dendrites function in the motor neuron?
To carry the nerve impulse from the CNS to the cell body
What is the function of sacral nerve?
Autonomic nerve function in body
What is the function of median nerve?
what is the function of the median nerve
How is it that the shape can adapted to carry messages around the body?
Nerve cells have many adaptations to their function. The basic function of a nerve cell is to deliver a message to the next nerve cell in order to send information across the body. It has long axon that deliver an action potentially a long way.
Your sense organs have specialised cells called?
sensory receptors - specialized nerve cells
What nerves carry signals to and from the eyes and ears?
The oculomotor nerve or the third cranial nerve, trochlear or forth cranial nerve and abducent or the sixth cranial nerve carry signal to your eye. The optic nerve carry the signal from the eye to the brain. Vestibulocochlear or the eighth cranial nerve carry the signal from your ear to the brain.
What is The function of left and right bundle branches?
The right bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the right ventricle (the lower chamber of the heart) and the left bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the left ventricle.
Do a nerve carry blood?
No nerve don't carry blood .There are other blood vessels (arteries,veins &capillaries) for carrying blood inside the body.Nerve are made of fibres and their function is connecting and conveying the impulses of sensation and motion between brain or spinal cord.
What does Specialism mean?
A cell which is Specialised to perfom a specfic function
