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 part of the neuron sends information to others?

The axon of a neuron is the part that sends information to other neurons or cells in the body. It transmits electrical signals known as action potentials from the cell body to the axon terminals where communication with other neurons occurs.


What does a neuron transmits signals from its what?

A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.


What part of a neuron transmits information to other neurons?

Dendrites receive information from other neurons. A dendrite is a short branched extension of a nerve cell where impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.


What is the nerve fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons?

The axon


In addition to the nucleus cytoplasm and cell membrane a single neuron possesses what?

A single neuron also possesses dendrites, which receive signals from other neurons, and an axon, which transmits signals to other neurons or cells. Additionally, neurons have synaptic connections that allow them to communicate with other neurons or cells through neurotransmitters.


What structure in the neuron sends signals to the organs?

The axon is the structure in the neuron that sends signals to other neurons or organs. It transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the target cells, allowing for communication within the nervous system.


What neurons receive information from sensory organs?

Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.


Which part of a neuron is attached to the soma and carries messages out to other cells?

Apex question is which is a part of a neuron that sends out messages answer axon


What is the part of the neuron that carries signals and transmits them to other neurons?

The smaller, receiving, head end of a neuron is called the dendrite. This transmogrifies first into the nucleus containing cell body and then into the multi-branched transmission arms of the axon. Axons from the spine to the foot are up to a meter in length.


What is the structure of a neuron and its role in the brain?

A neuron has dendrites (as inputs), a cell body (soma), and an output (axon).The neuron is the functional unit of the brain: neurons receive sensory information, process that information, store it, and convey commands to muscles and glands based on that information and its processing.


What molecule is released from synaptic vesicles and serves as the means of communication from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell?

The molecule released from synaptic vesicles is called neurotransmitter. It acts as the chemical messenger that transmits signals between neurons or from neurons to other cells such as muscle cells or gland cells. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.


What are the basic parts of neuron?

The three main parts of a neuron are the axon, the dendrites, and the soma (cell body). The axon carries information away from the soma and transmits it to other neurons. The dendrites receive information from other neurons. The soma contains the nucleus of the cell and protein synthesis occurs here.
