Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called?
Axons of neurons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as dendrites.
What cells are responsible for the myelination of neurons in the cns?
In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes make the myelin sheaths around axons via cytoplasmic extensions. In the peripheral nervous system. The Schwann cells perform the same function but the entire cell wraps around a portion of the axon.
What is the job of the dendrite?
Dendrites connect to other receptive cell (ie. Receptors)
What is the job of the oligodendrocyte?
Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial (supporting) cell in the brain that sends out cytoplasmic extensions to insulate axons in the central nervous system. This allows for greater speeds of nervous impulses between the brain and a sensory receptor or between two neurons ("brain" cells).
A knee-jerk reflex employs motor neurons and what?
it employs sensory and motor neurons
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from other nerve cells?
dendrites
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from what other nerve cells?
dendrites.
Which of the following are the main receptive or input regions found in neurons?
neurofibrils neurofibrils Both are Wrong, but I do not the correct answer. I think it's NISSL CELL The Dendrites provide the receptive surface for communications. (In some types of neurons the cell body provides such surface) Neither neurofibrils or Nissl cell is wrong. The correct answer is the dendrites. Dendrites are the structures on the neruons that are the main receptive surfaces for nerve impulses.
Dendrites are branching extensions of?
neurons that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. They are covered in dendritic spines, where synapses with other neurons are formed.
What are the thin chain-like extensions of the neurons called?
Axons
Is it true that Dendrites are branching cytoplasmic projections of neurons that receive impulses and transmit them to the cell body?
true
Short branched extensions through which neurons receive signals?
dendrites
Functions of the Dendrite?
Receptive region of neuron-- bear receptors for neurotransmitters released by other neurons.
Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called?
Axons of neurons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as dendrites.
Are the neurons that have the smallest receptive fields are found in the areas of the skin that are most sensitive?
Why is my baby so cute.
What cells are responsible for the myelination of neurons in the cns?
In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes make the myelin sheaths around axons via cytoplasmic extensions. In the peripheral nervous system. The Schwann cells perform the same function but the entire cell wraps around a portion of the axon.
What are bipolar neurons?
Bipolar neurons is a neuron that has two extensions. They are specialized sensory neurons and are part of your sense of smell, sight, taste, hearing, and vestibular functions.
