Does Dendrites generate and send signals to other cells?

Dendrites are a characteristic of neurons. Neurons are comprised of a soma, or cell body, dendrites, and axons. The soma is located in the center of the neuron and is the location of the nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles. The dendrites are attached to the cell body; there can be multiple dendrites, up to thousands, or there can be just one. The final structure is what is called an axon. A neuron can only have one axon, which can branch off. At the end of the axon are end terminals, or terminal buttons. These are what "connect" to other neurons (by connecting to their dendrites). The connection goes: terminal button, dendrite, soma, axon, terminal button, dendrite, soma, etc. However, the terminal button and dendrite never actually come in contact; they are separated by a very small gap known as the synaptic cleft.


Does sperm die if it is washed off hands?

Yes, sperm can die when it is washed off hands due to exposure to soap, water, and temperature changes. Washed off sperm is not likely to survive, especially if it is not in a suitable environment to sustain life.


Do hornets' nests die in winter?

Yes, hornets' nests do not survive the winter as the cold temperatures and lack of food cause the colony to die off.


What happens when you stimulate an axon in the middle?

When an axon is stimulated in the middle, an action potential is generated and travels in both directions along the axon. This is known as bidirectional conduction. The action potential is propagated away from the site of stimulation towards both the axon terminal and the cell body.


What are small distal branches of an axon?

Small distal branches of an axon are called axon terminals or synaptic terminals. These structures are specialized endings of the axon that release neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons or muscle cells. The axon terminals facilitate the transmission of signals between neurons at synapses.

What does a dendrite look like?

A dendrite is a branch-like structure that extends from the cell body of a neuron. It is covered in synapses where it receives signals from other neurons. Dendrites play a key role in transmitting electrical signals within the brain.
