What is another name for Nerve Cells?
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
Do porifera have nerve cells?
No , Poriferans lack typical neuron cells but they possess some neuron like cells which regulate flow of water . These cells are present around porosites .
What are the functional nerve tissues and which are support tissues?
Functional nerve tissues include neurons and glial cells, which support and protect neurons. Support tissues include connective tissue that provides structural support and blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to nerve cells.
What Neuron moves impulses from the brain?
I believe its motor nerve cells
How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
What are swan cells?
Swan cells are a type of glial cell found in the peripheral nervous system of vertebrates. They function to support and protect nerve cells by providing structural and nutritional support. Swan cells also play a role in repairing nerve damage and aiding in the regeneration of nerve fibers.
What is another name for nerve tissue?
Neurons are the name of the nerve cells. They are ultra-sensitive cells which “fire” communication signals with the central nervous system. They help detect all superficial and some internal sensations, such as itching or pain.
How are nerve cells ensheathed in the cns?
The nerve cells are ensheathed in the cns by myelin which is a dielectric material. The myelin layer extends only upto the axon of a neuron. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
How does the nerve signal move through the neuron?
in transmitting a nerve signal such as from your hand to your brain, several neurons are involved. Nerve cells can receive and transmit signals.the dendrites of one neuron are close to the axon of another neuron. The point where neurons meet is called a synapse
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
Extension of a neuron that sends impulses to other nerve cells or to muscles or glands?
axon
Cells providing support for nerve cells?
The Glial cells.
