The message in a neuron starts at the dendrites, which are the branch-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons. When these signals are strong enough to reach a certain threshold, they trigger an action potential that travels down the axon. This electrical impulse then propagates to the axon terminals, where it can communicate with other neurons or target cells.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
Define relay neuron?
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron
What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters
What is a message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
What message does neuron carry?
Electrical impulses.
What part of a neuron sends a message?
Axon sends the message. Dendrite receives it.
What is the message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
10 letters. What is a kind of message that increases the likelihood that a neuron will activate?
excitatory message
What type of neuron that interpretes message and sends out command?
That would be an interneuron otherwise known as an associative neuron.
Neuron that's sends message to the brain?
Afferent
What is the message a neuron carries called?
nerve impulses
