What is a tiny branching thread-like structure found in neurons?
There are two possible answers - axons or dendrites. Axons carry action potentials away from the neuron, while dendrites receive action potentials.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
Why is there fat coating around the dendrites and axons?
The fat coating around the dendrites and axons is to insulate them.
Which structure in the neuron receives information from another nerve cell?
Its the synaptic cleft found at the end of the axon terminal.
Where are neurotransmitters released?
Dendrites
Where are Receptor sites on a neuron primarily found?
dendrites only
Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of what?
They are sensory neurons. :)
Axons and dendrites usually are found in cells of which tissue?
nervous tissue
What are the threadlike extensions of a neuron called?
I believe it's Dendrites..but not for sure..but I'm working on physiology for the American school and I found this on page 400 if you're working on the same thing
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
These are called 'dendrites'
What is a tiny branching thread-like structure found in neurons?
There are two possible answers - axons or dendrites. Axons carry action potentials away from the neuron, while dendrites receive action potentials.
Which of the following are the main receptive or input regions found in neurons?
neurofibrils neurofibrils Both are Wrong, but I do not the correct answer. I think it's NISSL CELL The Dendrites provide the receptive surface for communications. (In some types of neurons the cell body provides such surface) Neither neurofibrils or Nissl cell is wrong. The correct answer is the dendrites. Dendrites are the structures on the neruons that are the main receptive surfaces for nerve impulses.
Where is the dendrites located at?
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
What structural differences is found in the brains of children with fragile X syndrome?
dendrites which are too dense and too long
What structures carry information toward the neurosoma?
dendrites
Is dendrites a structure of a neuron?
Yes, dendrites are the input structures of a neuron.
What is the plural word for dendrite?
The plural form of dendrite is dendrites.
