What else can I help you with?
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
What is the part of the neuron that receives impulses is called the?
Neural input happens at the dendrites (dendritic tree) of the neuron, but some neurons, notably the sympathetic, can receive input at the axon hillock (where the axon leaves the soma).
What is a long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron?
An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from what other nerve cells?
Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from other nerve cells are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron.
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
Dendrites are the extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses towards the cell body of the neuron.
What is the neuron that conducts impulses towards the periphery?
The efferent neuron carries impulses towards the periphery.
What cytoplasmic projections of a neuron receive information?
The cytoplasmic projections of a neuron that receive information are called dendrites. Dendrites are branch-like extensions that increase the surface area available for synaptic contacts with other neurons, allowing them to receive chemical signals and transmit electrical impulses toward the cell body. These structures play a crucial role in processing and integrating incoming signals, contributing to the overall function of the neuron.
Do schwann cells wrap their cytoplasmic extensions around thick neuron fibers in the CNS?
NO they wrap around the axon in the PNS!
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
Incoming neural impulses are received by the of a neuron?
Incoming neural impulses are received by the dendrites of a neuron. Dendrites are branch-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. Once the signals are received by the dendrites, they are integrated in the cell body before being transmitted down the axon.
What wraps cytoplasmic extensions around thick neuron fibers in the CNS?
In the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes are the cells responsible for wrapping cytoplasmic extensions around thick neuron fibers. These extensions form myelin sheaths, which insulate the axons and enhance the speed of electrical signal transmission. Each oligodendrocyte can myelinate multiple axons, contributing to the efficiency of neural communication within the CNS.
What are neurons that carry impulses towards the spinal cord and brain?
An Efferent Neuron.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
