What part of the neuron carries impulses away from the neuron?
Axons send information away from a cell body.
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 part of the brain takes away information to the cell body?
axon
The longest part of a motor neuron is likely to be the?
A motor neurone connects the central nervous system (CNS) with an effector, which is to say either a muscle or a gland. The length of the neurone depends on the size of the animal. In a human, some of the longest neurones extend from the base of the spine to the foot. The longest must be in the largest animals. Think of a giraffe. Not to mention a blue whale!
What is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What is the approximate top speed for a long myelinated axon in the human body?
5 miles per hour
What part of a neuron attaches the cell body to the axon?
The part of a neuron that attaches the cell body to the axon is called the axon hillock. It is located at the base of the cell body and is responsible for integrating incoming signals to generate an action potential.
Which region of the cell body from which the axon originates?
The axon originates from the axon hillock, a specialized region of the cell body that connects to the initial segment of the axon. This area is important for integrating incoming signals and deciding whether to generate an action potential.
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.
What is a axon hillock?
An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to the axon.
What part of the neuron carries impulses away from the neuron?
Axons send information away from a cell body.
What part of the brain takes away information to the cell body?
axon
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 *
How does the axon help the body?
by eating the body alive
The longest part of a motor neuron is likely to be the?
A motor neurone connects the central nervous system (CNS) with an effector, which is to say either a muscle or a gland. The length of the neurone depends on the size of the animal. In a human, some of the longest neurones extend from the base of the spine to the foot. The longest must be in the largest animals. Think of a giraffe. Not to mention a blue whale!
How can you the word axon in a sentence?
The axon carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
What is the very beginning of the axon called?
The very beginning of the axon is called the axon hillock. It is where the electrical signals from the cell body are gathered and then transmitted down the axon.
