What else can I help you with?
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other cells. Its main job is to transmit these signals to other neurons, muscle cells, or glands in the body.
Part of neuron that sends message through the neuron?
The dendrites are the "input" portion of the neuron, collecting signals from other neurons. However, the axon is the "output" portion of the neuron, sending signals to other neurons.
Can a neuron have more than two axons?
No, a neuron typically has only one axon which carries nerve impulses away from the cell body. However, certain types of neurons, such as those in invertebrates, can have multiple axon-like processes known as neurites that function in a similar way to axons.
What carries messages away from neuron?
The axons.
Carries messages away from the cell body of a neuron?
axon
Move messages away from neuron cell body?
Axon.
What carries messages from the cell body of a neuron?
Remember: Axons away, so dendrites carry messages from the cell, and axons carry them away.
A single long strand coming out of a neuron that carry messages away from the cell body?
axon
What are the parts of the neuron that the messages travels through?
The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.
Where does the axons carry messages toward?
Axons carry messages (action potentials) away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. They transmit information from one neuron to another, enabling communication within the nervous system.
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
What portion a neuron conducts nerve impulses away from the neuron?
axons
Neurons that conduct impulses away from the CNS to muscle and glands?
Efferent neuron
What is an extension of the neuron cell body that sends information away from the neuron?
the axon
What is the function of the axon endings?
it helps to speed up the process of transmitting messages between neurons.
