The parts of a generic neuron are:-
soma - cell body
axon - upto 1 meter long
dendrite - many
What else can I help you with?
What are highly branched cellular processes of a neuron that carry signals towards the cell body of a neuron?
These are called dendrites as they look like the branches of trees.It sounds like you're describing a synaptic transmission.
The tree like structures on a neuron are called?
the neuron is composed of 4 parts the cell body which contains the nucleus the axon which carry the information and the terminal button which distribute the neurons the dendrites which are the branches that come out.... the dendrites receive the signal.
What is the first part of the Neuron to receive an impulse from an adjacent neuron?
The first part of the neuron to receive an impulse from an adjacent neuron is the dendrites. Dendrites are branch-like structures that extend from the neuron's cell body and are specialized to receive signals from other neurons. When a neurotransmitter is released from the adjacent neuron's axon terminal, it binds to receptors on the dendrites, initiating an electrical impulse that travels through the neuron.
Where are the cell bodies in relay neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
After several months of ALD what does Lorenzo's neuron look like?
It has lost its myelin sheath (clothes) so it can no longer be used to send messages from the brain to other parts of the body.
What can excite a neuron or stop it from transmitting?
Excitatory signals, such as neurotransmitters like glutamate, can stimulate a neuron to transmit an electrical impulse. Inhibitory signals, like neurotransmitters GABA, can prevent a neuron from transmitting by hyperpolarizing the cell membrane and decreasing the likelihood of an action potential.
Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
Define relay neuron?
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
What is the 3 types of neuron?
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
What are the two parts the neuron is split up into?
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
What type of neuron connects to a muscle?
A motor or efferent neuron.
