Neuron is still a cell, so it still needs to sustain its life as a neuron. Cell body contains all the organelles, such as mitochondria that is needed to make the vast quantity of ATP needed in action potential, and the nucleus, which contains the DNA needed to make proteins for the cell.
What else can I help you with?
What composed of a cell bodydendritesand axon?
Nerve cell or neuron
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
What is the part of the nerve cell that contains the nucleus?
The part of the nerve cell that contains the nucleus is the cell body or soma. The nucleus plays a vital role in controlling cellular activities and contains genetic material (DNA) that determines cell function and structure.
What type of cell is the longest in the human body?
The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) with a length of 90cm-100cm linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body.
Where is a nerve located in a cell?
In a nerve cell, the nucleus is located in the cell body.
What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What does the nerve cell include?
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
The longest cell in human body?
The Longest cell in the human body is the nerve cell.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What is the longest cell in the body?
the nerve cell is
What the longest cell in the human body?
Nerve cell is the longest cell in human body.
What body system is the nerve cell in?
A nerve cell is part of the nervous system, a network of neurons that carry signals throughout the body.
Where is the nerve cell neuron?
in your body!
What are the multi-branched projections off of the nerve cell body?
Dendrites are the multi-branched projections off the nerve cell body.
What composed of a cell bodydendritesand axon?
Nerve cell or neuron
What is the job for the nucleus in a nerve cell?
The nucleus in a nerve cell contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls the cell's activities by regulating gene expression. It is responsible for directing the synthesis of proteins essential for nerve cell function and maintenance.
