How is the nerve signal transmitted across the synaptic cleft?

Nerve impulses are collected from neighbouring neurons through branched extensions or 'dendrites'. They enter the neuronal cell body for processing and are then propagated along... travel at definite rates along axons which split or 'bifurcate' into thousands of branches which terminate as 'axon terminals' also known as 'synaptic knobs' and 'synaptic buttons'. Axon terminals connect with dendrites of neigbouring neurons at specialized points of contact known as 'neural junctions', 'synaptic junctions' or 'synapses'.

What is the structure that contains a network of axons from several anterior rami is known as?

A plexus is the structure that contains a network of axons from several anterior rami. Examples include the brachial plexus in the arm and the lumbosacral plexus in the lower back and pelvis.


What are nerve axon tracks made of?

The axons of nerve cells are surrounded by myelin sheeths - a protective covering that allows for saltatory conduction down the axons, increasing speed and decreasing loss of signal. Axons make up the tissue known as "white matter."


What is a group of neurons with little to no myelin is known as?

A group of neurons with little to no myelin is known as unmyelinated neurons. These neurons transmit signals more slowly compared to myelinated neurons, which have a protective myelin sheath covering their axons.

Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called?

Neurons are composed of a network of fine threads called dendrites, which receive signals from other neurons, and axons, which transmit signals to other neurons. These structures form the basic communication network within the brain and nervous system.

How do you hide known file extensions?

Open any folder, click on Tools, click on the View tab and check the "Hide extensions for known file types" box.


Why are myelinated axons faster than unmyelinated axons?

Myelinated axons are faster than unmyelinated axons because the myelin sheath acts as an insulator, allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals along the axon. This insulation helps to prevent signal loss and allows the electrical impulse to "jump" from one node of Ranvier to the next, a process known as saltatory conduction, which speeds up the transmission of the signal.


Does Jennifer Aniston shave?

She used to wear extensions, but not anymore. She said that the extensions damaged her hair, and in the past few years she's grown it out for real.

Why does windows display known file extensions?

You probably have the folder options settings chosen to to display the known files extensions. If you want to disable this option, then "Start" open up "My Computer". Now from the top nav-menu click on "Tools". A Folder Options box should appear. Click on the "View" tab. Now scroll down until you find an option that reads "Hide extensions for known file types" and put a check-mark in that box. Now "Apply" and "Ok", and now it should hide the known file extensions.
