What else can I help you with?
Neurons that have only one process extending from the cell body are known as?
penis
Spinal interneurons inhibit antagonist motor neurons in a process known as?
reciprocal inhibition
What types of cells are involved in receiving and processing information?
Neuron is that cells that receiving and process information. This is also known as the nerve cell.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What is the process of lengthening and branching off known as?
The process of lengthening and branching off is known as dendritic growth. This occurs in various biological processes, such as the growth of neurons in the brain and the formation of tree branches.
How do red neurons contribute to the development and recovery process in stroke patients?
Red neurons, also known as dying neurons, are a sign of irreversible damage in the brain after a stroke. They do not contribute to the recovery process in stroke patients, but their presence can help doctors determine the extent of the injury. Recovery in stroke patients is mainly facilitated by the brain's ability to reorganize and form new connections, a process known as neuroplasticity. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and other rehabilitation techniques can also aid in the recovery process.
What is a group of neurons with little to no myelin is known as?
A group of neurons with little to no myelin is known as unmyelinated neurons. These neurons transmit signals more slowly compared to myelinated neurons, which have a protective myelin sheath covering their axons.
What is. The function of associative neurons?
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
The junction between neurons is known as the?
The junction between neurons is known as a synapse. This is where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to another, allowing for communication between the two neurons.
Functional difference between a motor and a relay neuron?
A motor neuron is responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands to stimulate movement or secretion. A relay neuron, also known as an interneuron, acts as a bridge between sensory and motor neurons, facilitating communication between them within the central nervous system. Essentially, motor neurons are involved in output or response, while relay neurons help process and integrate information.
The production and release of lactate to provide energy to the neurons is a function of the?
astrocytes in the brain. Astrocytes take up glucose and convert it to lactate, which is then released and used as an energy source by neurons. This process is known as the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle.
Do neurons or neuroglia release neurotransmitters?
Neurons release neurotransmitters, not neuroglia. Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, primarily support and protect neurons in various ways, but they do not release neurotransmitters like neurons do.
