Where are the cell bodies of cerebral neurons housed?
the cerebral neurons are housed in the cerebrums outer region called the CEREBRAL CORTEX
Aggregations of fixed and free ribosomes in neurons are referred to as?
Nissl Bodies are granules of endoplasmic reticulum, with aggregations of fixed or free Ribosomes and are the site of protein synthesis.
Nervous tissue is composed of cells called?
neurons
What neuron connects an afferent neuron to an efferent neuron?
Afferent neurons go to the Brain while efferent neurons go down
Neurons with the ability to monitor the environment are called what?
Neurons with the ability to monitor the environment are called?
Where are located peripheral motor neuron cell bodies?
For spinal nerves, the general somatic efferent motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (sometimes also called the anterior horn).Some of your cranial nerves also have motor neurons located in various nuclei of the brainstem.
Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called?
brain
Where are the cell bodies of cerebral neurons housed?
the cerebral neurons are housed in the cerebrums outer region called the CEREBRAL CORTEX
What structure contains cell bodies of neurons?
The neuron cell body is called the soma.
A group of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system is called a?
Ganglia
What are the large bodies of water surrounding earth's continents called?
Oceans.
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
The reason why Sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons is:_ Afferent Neurons mean the neurons carries the nerve impulse toward the brain (CNS) or the spinal cord (PNS)._ Sensory which always begins from the outside spaces, or peripheral places outside from CNS or PNS, need to be carried to CNS or PNS to analyze.That's the reason why they called sensory neurons as afferent neurons which bring sensor toward the brain or spinal cord and it's exactly the way where sensory goes
What neurons are affected in primary lateral sclerosis?
PLS affects a part of the neuron called the cell body (or soma). Specifically, it is the cell bodies of upper motor neurons that are affected.
Collection of nerve cell bodies found outside CNS?
In the peripheral nervous system, which is outside the central nervous system (CNS), collections of nerve cell bodies are called ganglia.
Aggregations of fixed and free ribosomes in neurons are referred to as?
Nissl Bodies are granules of endoplasmic reticulum, with aggregations of fixed or free Ribosomes and are the site of protein synthesis.
What are the cables of the nervous system called?
Information from the peripheral nervous system is carried to the central nervous system by neural cables called nerves. The work groups that neurons cluster into are known as neural networks.
What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
