The axon is the conducting part of the neuron. It conducts the impulse from the cell body to the terminals, where ion channels open in response to the impulse, mediators are activated, neurotransmitter crosses synapse and attaches at the post-synaptic membrane, opening the ion channels there and depolarizing the cell, and propagating the impulse towards another cell body via the post-synaptic cell's axon.
What else can I help you with?
Do epithelial tissue conduct impulses?
No, epithelial tissue does not conduct impulses. Epithelial tissue functions primarily in protection, secretion, absorption, and sensation. Nerve cells, or neurons, are responsible for conducting impulses in the body.
The basic unit of organization of nervous tissue is the nerve cell or?
The basic unit of organization of nervous tissue is the nerve cell is the neuron.
What is the location of the perineurium connective tissue covering?
The perineurium connective tissue covers and encapsulates bundles of nerve fibers called fascicles within a nerve. It is located between the endoneurium (which surrounds individual nerve fibers) and the epineurium (which surrounds the entire nerve).
What is a disadvantage of unmyelinated nervous tissue when compared to myelinated tissue?
Unmyelinated tissue is substantially slower in conducting impulses along the axon. With myelinated axons, the action potential (impulse) jumps from node to node greatly increasing the speed of the impulse.
Where is epineurium tissue located?
The epineurium tissue is located on the outermost layer of a peripheral nerve. It surrounds and protects the entire nerve bundle by providing structural support and acting as a barrier to external substances.
What are cylinder of nerve tissue?
linked to a central processing unit of a computer
What is the layer of meninges which attaches to the nerve tissue?
A nerve cell is actually called a neuron. It is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It can also be called a nerve fiber.
What is the tissue for the nerve cell?
I don't know since I am taking a test, but I just put "neuron" for the heck of it.
How is the functions of nerve tissue different from the epithelial tissue?
How is the function of nerve tissue different from that of epithelial tissue?
Do epithelial tissue conduct impulses?
No, epithelial tissue does not conduct impulses. Epithelial tissue functions primarily in protection, secretion, absorption, and sensation. Nerve cells, or neurons, are responsible for conducting impulses in the body.
Is bone an example of nerve tissue?
Bone is quite different from nerve tissue. It is not an excitable tissue.
The basic unit of organization of nervous tissue is the nerve cell or?
The basic unit of organization of nervous tissue is the nerve cell is the neuron.
What tissue is xylem and phloem found in?
Plant tissue/ conducting tissue
Tissue that forms nerves and the brain?
Nervous (nerve) tissue.
What is a mass of nerve tissue that receives and sends nerve impulses?
Neuron
What tissue has an axon?
Axons are part of nerve tissue, which is found within the nervous system. Nerve tissue is composed of neurons that contain axons for carrying nerve impulses.
What is the medical term meaning destruction of a nerve?
Neurolysis is destruction of a nerve or nervous tissue. Neuropathy, in contrast, means any disease of a nerve or nerve tissue.
