Neurons are long and have many branches to efficiently transmit electrical signals over distances and to connect with multiple other neurons. The elongated structure, known as the axon, allows them to carry impulses quickly to target cells, while the branching dendrites increase the surface area for receiving signals from other neurons. This complex structure enables rapid communication and integration of information within the nervous system.
What else can I help you with?
What are bundles of neurones?
A nerve is a bundle of neurones
What type of cell can be centimeters in length?
There are very few.Some neurones are upto 3m long.
What type of neuron's involved in a knee jerk?
sensory neurones motor neurones
What is the examples of branches of science?
There are lots of branches of science, including biology, chemistry, and physics.
Why does the body have both sensory and motor neurones?
the body has both sensory and motor neurones because the sensory neurones sense what is happening and sends the message along and like a motor the motor neurones pass on the message constantly round and round until it reaches its destination
What is a bundle of neurones?
Synapse
Why do the sensory neuron has short axon and long dendrites?
sensory and motor neurons are sometimes very long so that the impulses can be carried away from the body very quickly. in the motor neuron the impulses "jump" over the fatty tissue to the Node Of Ranvier.
Similarities of motor and sensory neurons?
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.
How may you Explain the role of sensory and motor neurones in a reflex arc.?
what is the role of sensory and motor neurones in a reflex arc
Why doesn't the relay neurone have a myelin sheath?
Relay neurones, which are typically found in the central nervous system, often lack a myelin sheath because they are involved in processing and integrating information rather than transmitting signals over long distances. Myelin sheaths are primarily found on motor and sensory neurones, where rapid signal conduction is essential. The shorter axons of relay neurones allow for sufficient signal transmission speeds without the need for myelination, as their primary role is to connect and communicate with other neurones in close proximity.
What is the basic unit of structure and functon of the nervous system?
The nervous system is used to trasmit information around the body. It is made of two systems: the central nervous system (which consists of the spine and brain) and the peripheral nervous system (which consists of neurones and receptors). There are three types of neurones: sensory neurones, relay neurons, and motor neurones.
What stores and secretes of neurotransmitter?
The axons of the neurones.
