What cells have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials?
Nerve cells or neurons have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials. These signals travel along the nerve cells to communicate information within the nervous system.
Where do neurons send signals in the human body?
Neurons send signals to other neurons, muscles, and glands in the human body.
What does it mean that neurons are excitable and how does this property contribute to their function in the nervous system?
Neurons being excitable means they can generate electrical signals in response to stimuli. This property allows them to communicate with each other and transmit information throughout the nervous system. Excitability is essential for processes like sending signals between neurons, controlling muscle movement, and processing sensory information.
One important difference between autonomic neurons and somatic neurons is the presence of?
Autonomic neurons control signals to and from the brain to smooth and cardiac. Whereas Somatic neurons control the signals to and from the skeletal system and brain.
What is the function of a neuron in the nervous system and how does it receive signals from other neurons?
A neuron in the nervous system functions to transmit electrical and chemical signals. It receives signals from other neurons through its dendrites, which are extensions that receive incoming signals. These signals are then integrated in the cell body and transmitted down the axon to other neurons.
Where do neurotransmitters travel within the brain to transmit signals between neurons?
Neurotransmitters travel across synapses, which are small gaps between neurons, to transmit signals between neurons in the brain.
Neurons that carry signals from the CNS to skeletal are part?
Neurons that carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to skeletal muscles are known as somatic motor neurons. These neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of the body by transmitting signals that stimulate muscle contractions.
What is neurons transmit signals across a?
the nucleus.
How signals transmitted through neurons?
synapes
The input zone of a neuron is the?
­The dendrites and cell body. Incoming signals from other neurons are received here.
What ability do neurons have that other cells don't?
Cells other than neurons undergo apoptosis and if neurons die they don't regenerate hencw their number reduces and even their injuries are difficult to treat and it can cause several neurological diseases unlike other cells .
What is the difference between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons in the context of synaptic transmission?
Presynaptic neurons send signals, while postsynaptic neurons receive signals in synaptic transmission. Presynaptic neurons release neurotransmitters that travel across the synapse to bind to receptors on postsynaptic neurons, triggering a response.
