In a neuron, ribosomes play a crucial role in protein synthesis, translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins that are essential for various cellular functions. These proteins can include neurotransmitters, receptors, and structural components necessary for maintaining neuronal health and facilitating communication between neurons. By producing these proteins, ribosomes contribute to the neuron's growth, repair, and overall functionality within the nervous system.

What is the special name given to the rough ER of a neuron?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of a neuron is specifically referred to as the "Nissl substance" or "Nissl bodies." This term is derived from the German neurologist Franz Nissl, who developed a staining technique that highlights the ribosome-rich rough ER, allowing for the visualization of neuronal cell bodies. Nissl bodies are important for synthesizing proteins essential for neuron function and maintenance.
What organelle are proteins synthesized with?
It is the ribosome. Proteins are synthesized on that
What is the function of a ribosome in a animal?
What is the function of a ribosome?
What is combined to form glucose in a special way?
chrolroplsdt from ribosome
What happens when ribosome parts pass into cytoplasm?
The ribosome subunits come together and form a functioning ribosome.
What type of ribosome is found in ribosome?
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic
What is a free ribosome?
A free ribosome is a ribosome that is not attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and is thus suspended in the cytoplasm.
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.
Where is a ribosome in the neuron cell?
In a neuron, ribosomes are primarily found in the cell body (soma) and are often associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), contributing to protein synthesis. They can also be present in dendrites, where they play a role in local protein synthesis necessary for synaptic plasticity and neuronal function. Ribosomes are less common in the axon, as this region relies more on proteins synthesized in the cell body.
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
