What is an extension of the neuron cell body that sends information away from the neuron?
the axon
Which branching structures carry information toward the cell body of a neuron?
Dendrites are the branching structures that carry information toward the cell body of a neuron. They receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body for processing.
What kind of neuron has a soma with a dendrite on one side and an axon on the other?
This type of neuron is called a unipolar neuron. It is typically found in the peripheral nervous system and is involved in transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system. The single process that extends from the soma branches into a central and peripheral process, with the central process connecting to the cell body.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
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 part of a neuron houses the nucleus?
The cell body houses the nucleus.Cell body
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
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.
The cell body of a neuron collects information from which structure?
The part of the neuron that picks up information and sends it to the cell body is the dendrite. Electrical stimulation is transmitted by upstream neurons onto dendrites, and the dendrites integrate and determine the extent to which action potentials are produced.
State the three main parts of a neuron and describe how an impulse travels through a neuron?
Okay, information is received through the dendrites, and then moves on the the cell body. From there, the cell's axon passes the message on to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
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.
Which neuron has its cell body inside the spinal cord?
cell body
What integrates impulses and contains DNA?
The structure that integrates impulses and contains DNA is the neuron, specifically its cell body (soma). Neurons transmit electrical signals (impulses) and process information, while the cell body houses the nucleus, which contains the DNA that carries genetic information essential for the cell's functions and maintenance.
