What is the abbreviation for the fluid outside the cell?
The fluid outside the cell is called extracellular fluid, often abbreviated as ECF. It includes interstitial fluid (between cells) and plasma (in blood vessels).
Fluid found OUtSiDE of a cell is called?
cytoplasm
Which cells has a function most similar to electrial wire?
Neurons in the nervous system have a function most similar to electrical wires, as they transmit electrical signals through their structure to communicate messages between different parts of the body.
What holds a neuron in place?
Neurons are held in place by supportive cells called glial cells. These cells provide structural support, insulation, and nutrients to neurons. Additionally, extracellular matrix proteins and other neighboring neurons contribute to holding neurons in place within the brain.
What are body fluids outside of cells called?
Body fluids outside of cells are called extracellular fluids. These include plasma, interstitial fluid, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. They play a crucial role in maintaining the body's internal environment and transporting nutrients and waste products.
What neurons receive messages about what is happening inside and outside the body?
efferent and afferent neurons
What links neurons together in the spinal cord?
synovial fluid
Is potassium found in normal cerebrospinal fluid?
Yes, potassium is found in normal cerebrospinal fluid at levels similar to those found in blood plasma. It plays a role in maintaining the electrical potential of neurons and helping regulate neuronal activity.
Cerebrospinal fluid carries chemicals from the to neurons?
Cerebrospinal fluid carries chemicals from the blood to neurons. It helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to neurons while also removing waste products and toxins from the brain. This helps maintain a stable environment for optimal neuronal function.
What specialized neurons detect sensory energy from the outside world?
Receptor
What is a common passageway that collects fluid from many neurons?
The structures called meninges, which are layers of membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord, collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that circulates around neurons. The fluid helps protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord.
Do neurons have Golgi apparatuses?
Yes, neurons do have Golgi apparatuses. The Golgi apparatus in neurons functions to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for transport within the cell or for secretion outside of the cell.
What is the effect on the pressure of a fluid if an outside pressure is applied?
If an outside pressure is applied to a fluid, the pressure inside the fluid will increase. This is because the outside pressure adds to the existing pressure of the fluid, resulting in a higher overall pressure.
Does chain ganglion contain soma from sensory neurons?
No, the chain ganglion contains cell bodies (soma) of autonomic motor neurons, not sensory neurons. Sensory neurons have their cell bodies located in the dorsal root ganglion outside the spinal cord.
Fluids located outside a cell?
Extracellular fluid is fluid located outside a cell. The average person has about 19 liters of extracellular fluid in his body.
How many neurons are used outside the CNS in the somatic nervous system?
one
What are some uses for extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid is the body fluid outside the cell that is composed of blood plasma, interstitial fluid, lymph and transcellular fluid. It resides outside the cells and transports mmaterials to and from the cells
