How does synaptic integration determine if a nerve impulse is generated or not generated in a neuron?
Neurons integrate incoming signals and sum up the excitatory and inhibitory signals, integration. The excitatory neurotransmitter produces a potential change (signal). This signal pushes the neuron closer to an action potential. If the neuron receives excitatory signals chances are that the axon will transmit a nerve impulse. The inhibitory neurotransmitter produces signals that drive neurons further from an action potential. If neurons receive both the inhibitory and the excitatory signals the summing of the signals may prohibit the axon from firing.
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron as?
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron...as feedback system is to control system. The motor neurons send signals from the brain to control the body. The sensory neurons send signals from the body back to the brain.
What are cells that are modified to transmit signals from one place to another?
Neurons are the cells that carry signals from one neuron to another neuron, a muscle, or a gland.
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 a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
What processes of a neuron that receives signals from other neurons?
dendrites
The input zone of a neuron is the?
­The dendrites and cell body. Incoming signals from other neurons are received here.

Which part of the neuron receives signal from other cells and is also the main metabolic region of the neuron?
The SOMA (the body of the neuron) is the main metabolic region of the neuron, and can SOMETIMES receive signals from other neurons, but the DENDRITE is usually the neuronal structure which receives signals, often at tiny protuberances from the dendrite called dendritic spines, although some connections (synapses) can sometimes be on the axon (the output structure).Read more: Which_part_of_the_neuron_receives_signals_from_other_cells_and_is_also_the_main_metabolic_region_of_the_neuron

What is neuron part that picks up signals from other neurons?
Dendrite
What is the single extension of a neuron that carries signals to other neurons?
Axon.
What is the neuron part that picks up signals from other neurons?
Dendrite
Why would a neuron not send an impulse?
If a neuron is not sending out an impulse or signal, this means the neuron is at rest. Neurons send signals electrochemically.
