What else can I help you with?
The greater the amount of coating the axon the faster the nerve impulse will be transmitted to the synapse.?
myelin
A factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation or conduction velocity along an axon?
One factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation or conduction velocity along an axon is the myelination of the axon. Myelinated axons conduct impulses faster than unmyelinated axons due to the saltatory conduction mechanism, where the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next. Another factor is the axon diameter, as larger diameter axons have lower resistance to ion flow and can conduct impulses faster compared to smaller diameter axons.
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other cells. Its main job is to transmit these signals to other neurons, muscle cells, or glands in the body.
What is the long trunk of a neuron called?
The long trunk of a neuron is called an axon. The axon is responsible for conducting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What is the axon responsible for?
It generates and transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Does impulse travel faster along myelinated neuron?
Yes, impulses travel faster in myelinated axon rather than in unmyelinated. It is mostly due to nodes of Ranvier. Instead of travel along the axon, in myelinated axon impulses "jump" from node to node. Also there are two types of myelinated axons: type A and type B. (Type C in unmyelinated axon.) Type A is the fastest among all of them.
The part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its' cell body is called?
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
How can you the word axon in a sentence?
The axon carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
What is the name of the area where nerve impulses arises?
receptive region?
Carries impulses away from the cell body?
An Axon
What carries impulses away from the cell body?
Axons carry impulses away from the cell body of a neuron. They are long, slender projections that transmit electrical impulses to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What part of the neuron carries impulses away from the neuron?
Axons send information away from a cell body.
What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
What part of the motor neuron carries impulses to the muscle?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Neural impulses speed increases when the axon is encased by what?
Myelin Sheath
How do impulses cross synapse between neurons?
By a chemical released by an axon.
What part of the neuron conveys electrical impulses from its start to its end?
the axon
