The specialized cell in the nervous system that conducts signals is?
These specialized cells are called neurons.
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
What binds animal cells together?
Animal cells are mostly bound together by what are known as intercellular junctions. There are three types of cell junctions: anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions. Of these, anchoring junctions, which include adherens junction, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, help bind the animal cells together, in an extracellular matrix.
What is the junction called between 2 communicating neurons?
The connection between two neurons is not a true connection but a gap junction that is used by neurotransmitters between them.
What Cellular junctions that link intermediate filaments between adjacent animal cells are called?
Anchoring junctions link intermediate filaments to adjacent animal cells, attaching the cells but still allowing movement or stretching.
The specialized cell in the nervous system that conducts signals is?
These specialized cells are called neurons.
What specialized cells that are responsible for holding neurons together are called what?
GLIAL
What are building blocks of the nervous system specialized cells called?
neurons
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
Nervous tissue contains specialized cells called?
Neurons are the conducting cells of nerve tissue. The neurons transmit the electrical charges and chemical signals via the synapses.
What are electrical junctions in the human body?
Electrical junctions in the human body are where the axons of nerves (singly called neurons) send a chemical to the dendrite(s) of nearby neuron(s), said chemical creating a weak electrical current in the next neuron. These neuron to neuron junctions are called, "Synapses".
The urinary bladder is protected from leaking due to cell-to-cell junctions called?
The urinary bladder is protected from leaking due to the junctions between cells. These are called gap junctions in the field of biology.
A specialized nerve cell?
this may not be wright but I'm pretty sure they're called neurons
Which direction do messages pass down the nerve cells?
Nerve impulses are carried by neurons and passed to other neurons at junctions called synapses. cells pass messages The signal may be directly transferred or can be carried across the gap by chemicals called neurotransmitters.
What is the area between two neurons?
Area between two neurons is called a synapse.In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell.neurons are cells that are specialized to pass signals to individual target cells, and synapses are the means by which they do so.
How is an impulse transmitted from one neuron to the next?
Neurons communicate primarily in two ways: (1) electrical communication and (2) chemical communication. Neurons communicate electrically using gap junctions between neurons where electrical impulses are sent directly from one neuron to another. This is method is used for local communication as the electrical signal degrades over larger distances. Neurons communicate chemically using chemicals called neurotransmitters which are ejected from one neuron into a space between neurons (called the synapse) and are then absorbed or taken up by other neighboring neurons.
Specialized nerve endings on sensory neurons that detect changes inside and outside the body are called?
receptors
