Is a nerve message also called a synapse?

Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.


What is a nerve cell called?

A nerve cell is called a neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system.


What is the difference between a human nerve cell and plant guard cell?

A human nerve cell is a specialized cell in the nervous system that transmits electrical signals, while a plant guard cell is a specialized cell in plants responsible for regulating gas exchange and water loss through openings called stomata. Nerve cells are found in animal tissues, while guard cells are unique to plants.


Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?

Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.


How do nerve cells relay messages?

Nerve cells relay messages through electrical signals called action potentials. These signals travel along the length of the nerve cell and are transmitted to other nerve cells or muscles at specialized junctions called synapses. At the synapse, chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released to carry the signal to the next cell.

What structure is responsible for myelination of the nerve fibers?

In the peripheral nervous system the cell that myelinates an axon is called a Schwann cell. In the central nervous system myelination is carried out by oligodendrocytes.

How long does it take to have a message from a nerve cell go to your brain?

The speed at which a message travels from a nerve cell to the brain can vary, but it typically ranges from milliseconds to a few seconds. Factors such as the distance the message has to travel and the type of nerve fibers involved can influence the speed of transmission.


What cells are the message carriers for the animal?

In animals, nerve cells (neurons) are the primary message carriers. They transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the body to control various functions such as movement, sensation, and cognition.
