What else can I help you with?
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other cells. Its main job is to transmit these signals to other neurons, muscle cells, or glands in the body.
What is an efferent neuron?
A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.
What structure in the neuron sends signals to the organs?
The axon is the structure in the neuron that sends signals to other neurons or organs. It transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the target cells, allowing for communication within the nervous system.
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
What is a long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron?
An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.
What is the single extension of a neuron that carries signals to other neurons?
The single extension of a neuron that carries signals to other neurons is called an axon. The axon is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
When you touch something hot a nueron in your finger senses the temperature. which happens first?
The neuron in your finger senses the temperature first. It sends a signal to your brain, which then interprets the information and signals your muscles to move your hand away from the heat source.
How do three neurons work together?
she sneezed with the thundering force of a hurricane!
What are actions potentials?
In physiology, an action potential is a short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectoryAn action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body.
A is for what part of the neurone that carries impulses away from the cell body?
A is for the axon, which is a long, thin extension of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells.
Part of neuron that sends message through the neuron?
The dendrites are the "input" portion of the neuron, collecting signals from other neurons. However, the axon is the "output" portion of the neuron, sending signals to other neurons.
What are the sequence of events that occur within the nervous system from the point you touched the hot stove with your hand to the point you jerked your hand away from the stove?
1. Sensory Receptors detect danger(eg. hot stove in this case) 2. Signal is sent through a sensory neuron to the spinal cord 3.Interneuron in the spinal cord relays the message to the motor neuron 4.Motor neuron sends a message to the effector(eg. muscle) 5. Hand jerks away Sensory neuron also sends a sinal to the brain. Sensation of the evernt is detected continuosly but usually after the defensive action has been taken.
