What else can I help you with?
I am a cell. I am long and thin. I reach all the way from the brain to the tip of a finger. I have a special coat of fat that helps me do my job. My job is to send electrical signals from one part of?
It sounds like you are a neuron, specifically a motor neuron. Motor neurons are long and thin cells that transmit electrical signals from the brain to muscles to control movement. The special coat of fat you mentioned is likely the myelin sheath, which helps conduct signals more efficiently along the neuron's axon.
What neuron is before a synapse?
The synapse consists of the two neurons, one of which is sending information to the other. The sending neuron is known as the pre-synaptic neuron (i.e. before the synapse) while the receiving neuron is known as the post-synaptic neuron (i.e. after the synapse).
What is a presynaptic neuron?
a neuron from the axon terminal of which an electrical impulse is transmitted across a synaptic cleft to the cell body or one or more dendrites of a postsynaptic neuron by the release of a chemical neurotransmitter.
What is the first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway called?
The first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway is called a preganglionic neuron. It originates in the central nervous system and synapses with a postganglionic neuron in an autonomic ganglion.
What is a motor neuron attached to?
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
What is a neuron's job?
A neuron cell's job is to send electrical pulses throughout the body in order to coordinate the body's movements and activities.
What does an interneuron do in the CNS?
An interneuron is also called an association neuron. Its job is to communicate with other neurons.
What is neurone's job?
A neuron cell's job is to send electrical pulses throughout the body in order to coordinate the body's movements and activities.
What is the job of his motor neurons?
controls musclesRelay messages from the Brain in the CNS down through the Spinal Cord and into the PNS, from there the motor neuron synapses on muscle fibers. i.e. knee jerk reflex & the neuromuscular junction.
Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
Define 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 or the brain
What is the 3 types of neuron?
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
What type of neuron connects to a muscle?
A motor or efferent neuron.
What is intermixed neuron?
a neuron which recieve both messages from afferent and efferent neuron...
What is a neuron impulse?
it is neuron impulse
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
