What else can I help you with?
Is a nerve cell in a plant cell or an animal cell?
Animal
What happens to the signal when myelin is damaged"?
When myelin is damaged, the signal transmission in the nervous system is disrupted, leading to slower or incomplete communication between nerve cells.
How are nerve cells ensheathed in the cns?
The nerve cells are ensheathed in the cns by myelin which is a dielectric material. The myelin layer extends only upto the axon of a neuron. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
What role do the nodes of Ranvier play in the functioning of nerve cells?
The nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath that cover nerve cells. They help in the rapid transmission of electrical signals along the nerve cell by allowing the signal to "jump" from one node to the next, speeding up the process of nerve cell communication.
How do nerve cells relay messages?
Nerve cells relay messages through electrical signals called action potentials. These signals travel along the length of the nerve cell and are transmitted to other nerve cells or muscles at specialized junctions called synapses. At the synapse, chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released to carry the signal to the next cell.
The association nerve cells are special nerve cells in the brain and?
Spinal Cord
Can Association nerve cells are found in the spinal cord?
Yes. Association nerve cells are found only in the spinal cord and brain.True
The nerve cells are special nerve cells in the spinal cord that carry messages to and from the brain?
Association
Association nerve cells are located in the brain and where else?
Yes. Association nerve cells are found only in the spinal cord and brain.True
Which direction do messages pass down the nerve cells?
Nerve impulses are carried by neurons and passed to other neurons at junctions called synapses. cells pass messages The signal may be directly transferred or can be carried across the gap by chemicals called neurotransmitters.
Where are association nerve cells located?
in your chast
What is true about most human nerve cells?
Association neurons
Are nerve cells smarter then other cells?
no nerve cells are like a chain one feeels it passes the signal to the next all the way up to your brain
The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?
Actually, association nerve cells, also known as interneurons, primarily function to form connections between sensory and motor nerve cells, helping to integrate and process information within the nervous system. They play a crucial role in determining how the body responds to sensory information and in coordinating complex behaviors.
What special nerve cells in the spinal cord carries messages to and from the brain?
association
Why does myelination create speed?
This question could probably be asked more clearly. Myelinization of a nerve fiber helps the nerve's signalpropagate more quickly. Think of the nerve cell as a length of wire, and the myelin as the rubber insulation on the wire. Each nerve cell allows an electrical signal to pass down it's axon. If there is insulation around the nerve (myelin) then the signal is contained within the nerve cell, and passes quickly to the end of the nerve cell. Demyelinated nerve cells do not have this insulation keeping the electrical signal in the cell; so the signal can travel to adjacent cells. The net effect is that the signal either never reaches the end of the intended axon (such as with multiple sclerosis), or the signal takes longer to get there. Some nerve cells (grey matter, for example) are not intended to be myelinated. These cells are designed to act without insulation, so either the signal is supposed to travel to adjacent cells, or it is supposed to take relatively longer to reach the end of the axon.
Do cells talk?
Not in language. Cells communicate with other cells on a rudimentary basis by releasing various chemicals that reflect their condition and functioning. Nerve cells can directly signal other nerve cells, and the sensory or muscle cells they are linked to.
