When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
Unipolar neuron function?
The function Of a neuron is to transmit a signal at a very fast rate.
What type of neuron that sends information from sensory receptors toward the central nervous system?
Central nervous system....
What is the primary unit of function in the nervous tissue?
The primary unit of the nervous tissue is the neuron. The function of the neuron is to transmit different signals from the nervous system to the various nerves in the body.
What neuron comes between the sensory and motor neuron?
Essentially, it is the interneuron. The body has numerous sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are stimulated an send their signal to the central nervous system and synapse or connect with an interneuron which is the processing center. The interneuron then synapses or connects with the motor neuron which sends a message/instruction by way of the motor neuron to skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, or glands. This is true, but to add more information, the Interneuron is also known as "relay neuron", "association neuron" or "local circuit neuron".Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
Function membrane receptor at chemical synapse?
Membrane receptors at a synapse are ligand-gated ion channels that open and allow sodium ions to flow into the neuron upon binding of the neurotransmitter ligand to generate an action potential in the neuron.
What part of the of the neuron receives impulses?
receptors, typically on dendrites
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
What determines the effect that a neurotransmitter has on the postsynaptic neuron?
the receptors on the postsynaptic membrane
What function of the gustatory receptors are parallel to what other receptors?
Olfactory receptors
Unipolar neuron function?
The function Of a neuron is to transmit a signal at a very fast rate.
Where are the receptors for neurotransmitters located?
Receptors for the various neurotransmitters are located on both the presynaptic and postsynaptic nerve terminals of the neuron.
What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
What are the small branchlike structures of the neuron that receive signals from receptors or other resources?
Dendrite
What is the Neuron function?
The function of a neuron is to transfer messages throughout the brain. These neurons are all attached and interpret everything that happens.
How are neuron and nerve similar in function?
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
