What else can I help you with?
Do neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells?
No, there is not any information that neurons hold the same genetic information as somatic cells. Somatic cells are the biological form of an animal, neurons are the forms of elements not organisms.
Which parts of the gastrointestinal tract are innervated by the somatic nervous system?
GI tract is innervated locally by the enteric nervous system and activity of the Cajal pacemaker cells and by the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic / parasympathetic). It is not innervated by the somatic nervous system. I'm a neurobiologist/physiologist.
What forms synapses or junctions with other neurons or effector cells?
axon terminals
What is an adrenoreceptor?
An adrenoreceptor is an adrenergic receptor, any of several sites in the surface membranes of cells innervated by adrenergic neurons.
What is an adrenergic receptor?
An adrenergic receptor is any of several sites in the surface membranes of cells innervated by adrenergic neurons.
What two type of cell populations make up neural tissue?
Neurons and glial cells are the two main cell populations that make up neural tissue. Neurons are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses, while glial cells provide support and protection to neurons.
Which of these structures does NOT pertain to neurons?
The alveoli in the lungs do not pertain to neurons. Alveoli are small air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs during breathing, while neurons are the cells that transmit electrical signals in the nervous system.
Cells that carry out a response to a stimulus are called?
effector
What type of nerve stimulates muscle cells to contract?
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
Does the somatic nervous system form myelin?
The somatic nervous system itself does not form myelin; instead, myelin is produced by specialized cells. In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells are responsible for myelinating the axons of motor and sensory neurons. In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes perform this function. Myelin enhances the speed of electrical impulses along the neurons in both the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
Body cells can be called?
Somatic cell.
What is another name for normal body cells?
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
