What else can I help you with?
The long process of a neuron is called the?
Axon
What is the long trunk of a neuron called?
The long trunk of a neuron is called an axon. The axon is responsible for conducting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
The single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cell body is called the?
axon-kenyonthanks ya kenyon-lexi
What part of a neuron attaches the cell body to the axon?
The part of a neuron that attaches the cell body to the axon is called the axon hillock. It is located at the base of the cell body and is responsible for integrating incoming signals to generate an action potential.
The first voltage-regulated gates encountered along the neuron membrane which initiate the formation of action potentials are located on the neuron near the?
axon hillock
When a neuron depolarizes this runs out of the axon?
Potassium.
What rushes out of the axon when a neutron depolarizes?
The sodium channels open and flood the concentration of potassium ions creating a sequence of positive impulses.
The long process of a neuron is called the?
Axon
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
What causes an electrical impulse to move down a neuron?
An electrical impulse, or action potential, moves down a neuron due to the rapid influx and efflux of ions across the neuron's membrane. When a neuron is stimulated, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to enter, which depolarizes the membrane. This change in voltage triggers adjacent sodium channels to open, propagating the impulse along the axon. The process is facilitated by the myelin sheath, which insulates the axon and allows for faster transmission through saltatory conduction.
What is an axon termin?
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.
What is an axon-terminal?
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.
What is axon terminals?

The site in the neuron where EPSPs and IPSPs are integrated is the?
The Axon Hillcock is the site where EPSPs AND IPSPs are integrated in the neuron.
What is the highest number of axons a neuron can have?
A neuron can have at most one axon. However, an axon can branch - sometimes many times.
What enters the axon during action potential?
Sodium ions enter the axon during action potential. This influx of sodium ions depolarizes the axon membrane, leading to the propagation of the action potential along the axon.
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
