Is and axon bulb and an axon hillock the same thing?
axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *
What are the routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system?
Nerve impulses travel in one direction along a neuron, from the dendrites, through the cell body, down the axon, and finally to the axon terminals. At the axon terminals, neurotransmitters are released to communicate with the next neuron or target cell. This process allows the nerve impulse to pass through the nervous system efficiently.
Which way does a dendrite conduct nerve impulses to the cell body?
the dendrites pick up msgs from other neurons lying nearby.they pass the msg to the cellbody, and then along the axon, the axon might then pass it on to another neurones. from the receptorto the sensory neuron to the relay neurons to the motor neuron to the muscle
What is the correct route a message takes within a neuron?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! When a message travels within a neuron, it starts at the dendrites, moves through the cell body, and then down the axon. Finally, it reaches the axon terminals where it can pass on to the next neuron. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, each step is important in creating a masterpiece of communication in our brains.
Does dendrites support the axon from within?
Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and pass them to the cell body, which then transmits the signal to the axon. The axon is supported by structures called neurofilaments and microtubules that help maintain its structure and facilitate the transport of materials within the axon.
Do Dendrites release neurotransmitters into the extracellular space during nerve impulse transmissions?
Receive, fundamentally, but then subsequently release when its job is done. The axon releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, where they diffuse across and fit into the receptor sites on ligand-gated ion pores located on the dendrites, where they act to open the ion pores so as to initiate the propagation of the neural signal along the dendrite ; however, those same receptor sites subsequently do release the neurotransmitters, so they can be re-absorbed and re-used by the axon terminals to pass neural signals to the dendrite as subsequent action potentials reach the ends of the axons.
The structure that recevies an impulse from the dendrite is the?
Cell body.Impulses a received in the dendrite, go through the cell body and out to the axon, where they are transmitted to the next dendrite. Easy way to remember it, it's the alphabet backwards - Dendrite, Cell Body, Axon
How neurotransmitter carry in axon hillock to axon terminal?
If I understand your question correctly, the answer is that neurotransmitters are NOT INVOLVED AT ALL in the movement of an action potential from the axon hillock to the axon terminal(s). Neurotransmitters are active in the SYNAPSES between neurons, not ALONG an axon. They are released by an axon terminal, then pass across the synaptic cleft to, for instance, a dendrite or dendritic spine of another neuron, where they fit into a receptor site of an ion pore, causing that ligand gated ion pore to open, allowing an influx of ions which begin the propagation of the chemical-voltage impulse that is a nerve signal.
What transmits messages between nerve cells?
Nerve messages pass from the axon of one nerve into the dendrite of another through a space separating them called the synaptic cleft.
Is and axon bulb and an axon hillock the same thing?
axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *
Synaptic vesicles are found in what?
Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.

What is synapses?
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
What is the transmission zone of a neuron?
I have never heard of the term 'transmission zone' (which may be someone's personal name for what I'm about to explain) but neurons send their chemical signals across what is known as a synapse, the region where the axon of one neuron meets up with another neuron (most often a dendrite). The space between these two neurons (the non-neuron space in the synapse) is called the synaptic cleft. Through this space, neurotransmitters pass through and act on the receiving neuron once they reach it.
What is the space where neurotransmitters pass from nerve to nerve?
synapse
Does information enter a neuron through the axon?
Neurons pass information by neurotransmitters, chemicals that activate receiving neurons. These molecules (neurotransmitters) pass through what is called the synapse: a junction of an axon of the first neuron close to the dendrite of a second neuron. When the neurotransmitters act on the receiving neuron, they can activate a series of changes that cause than neuron to signal to another neuron, resulting in a chain reaction.
