Which structure in the neuron receives information from another nerve cell?
Its the synaptic cleft found at the end of the axon terminal.
The part of the neuron that normally receives stimuli is called?
The Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the neuron's soma and dendrites. Synapse's happens when contact is made by one neuron's axon and is received by another neuron's dendrite and soma. The synaptic signaling procedure is vital to positive neuron function.
What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
The space between neuronal celll bodies is the extracellular space, which is filled with extracellular fluid. The space between neurons in contact with one another via a synapse is called a synaptic cleft.
What is unauthorized touching of one person by another?
Battery
What is the function of the dendrites in the neurons?
The dendrites receive the data or signal from another neuron for the soma.
Does synaptic transmission involve electrical information to pass from terminal button to dendrites of another neuron?
No, synaptic transmission is chemical, not electrical.
Which structure in the neuron receives information from another nerve cell?
Its the synaptic cleft found at the end of the axon terminal.
What do axons and dendrites belong to?
I'm assuming you're talking about dendrites... And the dendrites are what receive signals on a neuron. Signals are delivered through the axon to the axon terminal, which passes the signal to another neuron's dendrites.
Axons and dendrites is another word for?
Axons are the output element of a neuron, and dendrites are the input elements of a neuron.
Axons and Dendrites are part of what kind of cell?
Neurons, of the nervous system. The dendrites receive impulses, and the axons send them to another neuron or an effector cell.
How does information travel in the nervous system?
Neurons communicate with each other via 'synapses'. Let us consider an example of how this works. Say a neuron becomes excited because its antennae, which are called 'dendrites', have just received a number of inputs from neighbouring neurons. Say as a result of this it now 'fires an action potential'. This will involve a electrical pulse being sent from its cell body (the soma) all the way down its axon to the very end - the 'axon terminal'. This terminal has two main characteristics: 1) it stores and releases neurotransmitters; and 2) it comes into close apposition (not quite physical contact) with some process of another cell, usually a point on a dendritic branch (antenna). The tiny gap between the axon terminal and the recipient cell is called a synapse, or 'synaptic cleft'. As soon as the electrical impulse reaches the terminal, neurochemicals will be released into the synaptic cleft where they will diffuse a very short distance and bind to 'post-synaptic receptors' on the recipient cell's dendrite (or in some cases, its cell body). These chemicals are the 'inputs' that were referred to in the beginning of this example. And on and on it goes. The synapse is the point of exchange - the neurochemicals are the messengers. by sending signalsby sending substances across a tiny gap between them
Which part of the neuron acts as a receiver for nerve impulses?
potassuimaxon terminals transmit info from their neuron to another, while dendrites receive info from other neurons.
What is a neuron and what are its structures?
A neuron is an excitable cell, which conveys an electric impulse when adequately stimulated. The structures are: the dendrites (inputs), the cell body (soma), the nucleus, the axon (the output, which can be thin and long up to a meter), with a Myelin sheath on the longer axons (made up of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, or oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, separated along the axon by the Nodes of Ranvier), axon terminal branches, ending with a terminal button which would form the beginning of a synapse when connecting to another neuron, or a motor end plate if connecting to a muscle cell.
Another word that means heart touching?
Gratifying is another word that means heart-touching. Heartwarming is also another word for heart touching. The word heart touching refers to a feeling of empathy.

Is touching another women cheating?
