What structure contains the cell body (soma) of a sensory nerve receiving sensory information from the skin?
A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon. The sensory nerve cells receiving information from the skin are pseudounipolar cells having two axon. One axon extends centrally towards the spinal cord and the other axon extends towards the skin. The soma of these nerve cells having neurofilaments of specialized proteins receive sensory information through electric and chemical signals called neurotransmitters.A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon.

What is the function of the neurons axon?
The axon of a neuron transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. It is responsible for carrying information over long distances within the nervous system.
What is the longest part of a neuron carrying messages to a leg muscle?
An axon.
Where is the axon not insulated with myelin?
The axon is not insulated with myelin at the nodes of Ranvier. These are small gaps along the axon where the myelin sheath is absent and allow for faster propagation of action potentials by saltatory conduction.
What part of the brain takes away information to the cell body?
axon
The single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cell body is called the?
axon-kenyonthanks ya kenyon-lexi
What are the routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system?
Nerve impulses travel in one direction along a neuron, from the dendrites, through the cell body, down the axon, and finally to the axon terminals. At the axon terminals, neurotransmitters are released to communicate with the next neuron or target cell. This process allows the nerve impulse to pass through the nervous system efficiently.
Where is axon located?
The axon is locaed i the anterior horn on the spinal cord The axon is locaed in the anterior horn on the spinal cord
Example of unipolar neurons?
Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, which then splits into two branches - one serving as a dendrite and the other as an axon. They are commonly found in sensory neurons, where the single process acts as both the input (dendrite) and output (axon) structure, facilitating the transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system. A classic example of unipolar neurons can be seen in the sensory neurons responsible for carrying touch sensations from the skin to the spinal cord.
What disease causes the destruction of fatty materials that covers the axon of neurons in the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
What white protective covering over some parts of the spinal cord and axon of most peripheral nerves?
Myelin Sheath
What carries impulses away from the cell body?
Axons carry impulses away from the cell body of a neuron. They are long, slender projections that transmit electrical impulses to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
