Nerves run throughout your body. They carry messages to your muscles and organs. These messages tell your body what to do.Like when its hot or cold or when your about to puke. They can tell you a maximum amount of things...

Why are the cell bodies of neurons elongated into cell processes?

1.) Take a piece of paper and draw a bunch of dots all over. Make sure some dots are far away from each other. 2.) Now imagine that each dot is the nucleus of a neuron. 3.) What structure(s) would best allow each neuron to connect with all the other neurons on the page? It wouldn't be short, stubby appendages, right? 4.) As humans evolved into subsequent species, the neurons' dendrites ("roots") grew longer and longer, with more and more "arms". This would explain the widening intellectual gap between humans and apes.

How many neurons does the cerebellum have?

How many neurons does the cerebellum have? This is an interesting question. Of the sources I have reviewed thus far, I have not found a consistent approximation of neurons in the cerebellum. The human brain has (estimate) 100 billion neurons. Some sources say 10-100 billion. According to Wikipedia, the cerebellum takes up 10% of the brain's total volume and contains roughly 50% of all the neurons in the brain. In that case, 50 billion neurons in the cerebellum. However, in the book I'm currently reading, it has suggested that the cerebellum neuron count is more like 70 billion. Therefore, the cerebrum (rest of the brain) has the remaining 30%. Interesting isn't it? Such a small structure contains majority of the brain's neurons. Additionally, the cerebellum has Purkinje cells, which are among the largest neurons in the brain. According to Wikipedia, Granule cells (very tiny neurons) are very numerous in the cerebellum which are accountable for the mass % of neurons in this particular cortex. Hope I have helped you! However, take note that to some people Wikipedia is not a valid source. To me it's reliable in some circumstances. The book I'm reading now was written by an M.D so I feel that is more reliable, so I'll go ahead and say that the cerebellum has (estimate) 60-70 billion neurons.


Do dendrites contain sensory neurons?

Yes, dendrites are extensions of nerve cells that receive signals from other nerve cells. Sensory neurons, which carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system, have dendrites that receive stimuli from the environment and transmit them as electrical impulses to the cell body.


What would happen if there was no positive and negative charge in the world?

Depends on how far you want to take your "what if" : superficially you would be getting rid of electricity in all its aspects, but deeper is to get rid of all the atoms ... and if you do that then ---

Why does my pregnant turtle keep flipping over She has laid one egg so far and btw it's a painted turtle and she keeps flipping on her back?

If your paint turtle has all of her eggs and continues to flip over on her back i would recommend taking her to the vet for a better medical exam.
