What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
The three main structures of a neuron are the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles, the dendrites receive signals from other neurons, and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or cells.
Name the 3 main parts of a neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the dendrites, the axon, and the soma. The dendrites are the nerve endings, the axon is the body, and the soma is the cell body.
Which part of a neuron is attached to the soma and carries messages out to other cells?
Apex question is which is a part of a neuron that sends out messages answer axon
What order is information passed through a neuron?
Dendrite to soma to axon ;)

What is the area called where the axon emerges from the soma?
The area where the axon emerges from the soma is called the axon hillock. This region is crucial for the initiation of action potentials, as it integrates incoming signals and determines whether to transmit an electrical impulse down the axon. The axon hillock is characterized by a high density of voltage-gated sodium channels, which play a key role in the generation of action potentials.
What are the two types of axonal transport?
the two types are anterograde transport and retrograde transport. anterograde is the flow of new or recycled cell products from the soma to the axon terminals for growth or regeneration in the axon. retrograde is the return from the axon terminal back to the soma so products can be degraded or recycled.
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 are the Parts of neuron?
1. The cell body (or soma) 2) The axon 3) The dendrites
Which 3 parts of a human neuron are common in all animal neurons?
soma (cell body), axon, and axon terminals. I left out dendrites, because there are some kinds of neurons (sensory neurons) which don't have dendrites, but rather have axons which come from a sense receptor cell, come to but do not enter the soma, where the impulse continues onalong a second branch of the axon stub which comes out from the soma. In other words, a single axon (or perhaps a fused axon and dendrite?) comes out from the soma, where it branches into two, one of which goes to the receptor cell to receive an impulse (and is myelinated and conducts an action potential), and the other goes to the spinal cord or brain.
What are the 4 parts of neuron?
The four parts of a neuron are dendrites, cell body (soma), axon, and terminal branches (axon terminals). Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. The axon carries signals away from the cell body to other neurons or cells, and the terminal branches release neurotransmitters to communicate with these target cells.
