What is a long nerve fiber that carries impulses from one nerve cell to the next called?
an axon
Muscle cell are stimulated by nerve fiber called a?
[Edit]
What is the site where the muscle fiber and nerve fiber meet called?
Well of course they meet at the neuromuscular junction
What are components of a nerve fiber?
A nerve fiber consists of the axon, which transmits nerve impulses, along with protective covering called myelin sheath, Schwann cells that produce myelin, and the endoneurium which surrounds individual nerve fibers.
A long nerve fiber that carries impulses from one nerve cell to the next?
It's called an axon.
When the nerve cell is stimulated what is it called?
When a nerve cell is stimulated, the process is called depolarization. This occurs when the cell membrane's potential becomes less negative, leading to the generation of an action potential if the threshold is reached. The action potential then propagates along the nerve fiber, allowing for the transmission of signals.
What is the layer of meninges which attaches to the nerve tissue?
A nerve cell is actually called a neuron. It is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It can also be called a nerve fiber.
What is electrochemical process of depolarization and repolarization along a nerve fiber?
During depolarization, sodium ions rush into the nerve fiber, making the inside more positively charged. This triggers an action potential to be carried along the fiber. Repolarization occurs when potassium ions exit the cell, restoring the original negative charge inside the cell. This process allows the nerve fiber to transmit signals along its length.
What is required to maintain nerve fiber sheath?
required to maintain nerve fiber sheath
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
The microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell is called an axon. Axons are long, slender projections of a nerve cell that transmit electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. These signals, known as action potentials, travel down the axon through a process called depolarization and repolarization.
What do you call the slender nerve fiber?
The slender nerve fiber is called an axon. It is the long, slender projection of a nerve cell that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What is the difference between the contour and magnitude of single nerve fiber and nerve trunk?
What is the difference between the contour and magnitude of single nerve fiber and nerve trunk?
