What is the long trunk of a neuron called?
the axon
What is a long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron?
An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.
What determine whether a neuron is unipolar bipolar multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.
What is the first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway called?
preganglionic neuron
The single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cell body is called the?
axon-kenyonthanks ya kenyon-lexi
What is The depolarization and repolarization of a neuron membrane called?
This process is called nerve conduction.
What is the long section of the neuron called?
an Axon
What is the long trunk of a neuron called?
the axon
What is the long extended process of a neuron the carries action potitial?
a dendrite
What is the afferent process called?
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
When impulses from various sources have an additive effect on a neuron the process is called?
convergence
What are three type of neurons?
Sensory, Interneuron, and Motor.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move

What happens to neurotransmitters that fail to attach to a receptor site?
In a process called reuptake, they are reabsorbed by sending the neuron and recycled.

What is The process by which the neurotransmitter substance leaves the presynaptic terminal button is called?
Leaves the presynaptic neuron, activates ion channel
