What else can I help you with?
Perikaryons with cell processes are called?
neuron
What part of the neuron carries out its life processes?
cell body
What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.
Does the cell body process information in the neuron?
The main part of the neuron, containing the nucleus and other organelles and serving as the site of the cell's metabolic reactions; processes input from the dendrites and if input is large enough relays to the axon, where an impulse is initiated.
What term refers to the nerve cell body including all of its processes and coverings?
Neuron
What neuron processes convey messages away from the cell body?
Axons are the neuron processes that convey messages away from the cell body. They are long, fiber-like structures that transmit electrochemical signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What are the two types of fibers that project from a neuron's cell body?
The two fibers that a neuron has are the nerve and the myelin fibers
What determine whether a neuron is unipolar bipolar multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.
The cytoplasm within a cell body of a neuron is called?
The cytoplasm within a cell body of a neuron is called perikaryon or soma. It contains organelles necessary for cellular function, such as mitochondria and ribosomes, and plays a role in various cellular processes within the neuron.
What is a stretched out cell that carries signals?
A nerve cell, or neuron, is a stretched out cell that carries signals in the form of electrical impulses throughout the body. These signals allow for communication between different parts of the body and are essential for processes such as movement, sensation, and thinking.
What kind of animal cell is called a neuron?
A neuron is a nerve cell.
Which animal cell is sometimes called a neuron?
a neuron is a nerve cell
