What else can I help you with?
What is the part of the neuron that carries messages?
Dendrites carry messages to a cell body of a neuron.
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron?
The two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron are dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body, while axons transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or target cells.
What connective tissue is closest to the single neuron?
The connective tissue closest to a single neuron is the endoneurium. It surrounds individual axons within a nerve.
Axons are found in the region of a neuron.?
Axons are long, slender projections of a neuron that transmit electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. They are typically found in the region of the neuron extending from the axon hillock, where action potentials are generated, and can branch out to communicate with multiple target cells. The axon is crucial for relaying signals over long distances, making it an essential component of the nervous system's communication network.
What wraps cytoplasmic extensions around thick neuron fibers in the CNS?
In the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes are the cells responsible for wrapping cytoplasmic extensions around thick neuron fibers. These extensions form myelin sheaths, which insulate the axons and enhance the speed of electrical signal transmission. Each oligodendrocyte can myelinate multiple axons, contributing to the efficiency of neural communication within the CNS.
Can a neuron have multiple axons?
No, each neuron has only one axon, but has multiple dendrites so it can receive information from multiple axons from other multiple neurons.
Axons and dendrites is another word for?
Axons are the output element of a neuron, and dendrites are the input elements of a neuron.
What is the highest number of axons a neuron can have?
A neuron can have at most one axon. However, an axon can branch - sometimes many times.
What are the parts of neuron and its function?
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
What are the parts and function of neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
What portion a neuron conducts nerve impulses away from the neuron?
axons
What carries messages away from neuron?
The axons.
When medication is used what part of the neuron is involve?
Axons
Spinal nerve roots which contain only motor neuron axons?
the what? root of a spinal nerve consists of motor neuron axons
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron what does each do?
The ones carrying the input are the dendrites, the ones carrying the output are the axons.
Where do first order sensory neuron axons reside?
In a ganglion.
What root of a spinal nerve consists of motor neuron axons?
The ventral root consists of motor neuron axons. These axons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, allowing for voluntary movement and autonomic functions.
