True. A+
What are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory nerve cells
What are blood cells and nerve cells called?
red blood cells and a nerve cell.
Are the cells that transmit sensory message called nerve cells or muscle cells?
Nerve Cells. 100% sure.
What kind of organ is composed of billions of nerve cells?
Perhaps the brain is the answer you seek.
Which organ's job has mostly to do with sending and receiving messages using nerve cells?
brain
Is a nerve a organ?
A nerve cell is a cell all by itself. There are two kinds of nerve cells, neurons and neuroglia. A single nerve cell can be part of a group of similar nerve cells and be considered a tissue; as in a nerve, which is composed of many nerve cells. But, if there is more than one kind of tissue that contributes to a common function, then we call that an organ. The the heart is an organ because it has several kinds of tissues that all work together. Nerves contain a network of nerve cells that carry signals and impulses to the spinal cord and the brain. These are called afferent neurons. They also carry signals away from the central nervous system (CNS), these are called efferent neurons.
The receptor organ for hearing is the?
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
What ear structures has hair cells that relay sound waves to auditory nerve fibers?
The Organ of Corti
Definition of Nervus vestibulocochlearisis?
This is an inflammation of a composite sensory nerve supplying the hair cells of the vestibular organ and the hair cells of the cochlea. This nerve carries sound and balance information to the brain. An inflammation will cause a disturbance in hearing and balance.
Is nerve an example of an organ system?
No, a nerve is one part of an organ system--the nervous system.
What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
What is a connector nerve?
Connector nerve cells connect the sensory nerve cells with motor nerve cells and allow for decision making.
The association nerve cells relay information from sensory nerve cells to motor nerve cells?
True. A+
What type of nerve is the optic nerve?
ganglion cells
What are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory nerve cells
