What part of nervous system worked when you are pricked by a needle?

This is a reflex that the peripheral nervous system was involved in. The prick was noted by sensory neurons which carried information into the spinal cord and synapsed with motor neurons which made you react, most likely by pulling away.


What organ did this cell most likely come from in a cell with branch like structures?

The cell most likely came from the nervous system, specifically a neuron. Neurons have branch-like structures called dendrites and axons that help transmit electrical signals within the nervous system.


A tiny structure located in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope is an?

centrioles


What tissue looks like a tree branch with spotty cells?

The tissue that looks like a tree branch with spotty cells is nervous tissue. Nervous tissue consists of neurons (nerve cells) interconnected in a branching network resembling tree branches. The "spotty" appearance is likely referring to the cell bodies (soma) of neurons located along these interconnected branches.


Is a neuron a molecule?

No, a neuron is not a molecule. Neurons are cells that make up the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals in the body. Molecules are made up of atoms and can form the building blocks of neurons and other cells in the body.


Who carries messages from the sense organs to the central nervous system?

other nerve cells... The brain is made up of nerve cells (also called neurons). There are neurons both in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. The communication between neurons occurs with release of neurotransmitters (chemicals that affect the surface of neurons). The release of neurotransmitters occurs when an electrical impulse travels down the neuron and causes the neuron to "fire" off neurotransmitter. This electrical impulse is called an "action potential." The release of neurotransmitter can have one of two possible effects on the "receiving" neuron, depending on which neurotransmitter binds with which neuron. It can make the receiving neuron either more likely to fire (excitatory) or less likely to fire (inhibitory). The result of this activity in billions of neurons creates quite a symphony, including everything we call thought.


What tissue is least likely to regenerate itself?

Nervous tissue, specifically neurons, are least likely to regenerate themselves due to their limited ability to divide and replace damaged cells. Injuries to the brain and spinal cord often result in permanent damage because neurons have a low capacity for regeneration compared to other tissues in the body.


Do amphibians have nervous system?

Yes they do, invertebrates have small nervous systems, which consist of many small brains. Because of the anatomy of their nervous systems and the lack of neurons, they are thought to have limited cognitive capacity, and this means that they are likely to not be capable of emotions like we feel. This is why scientists are unsure whether or not or to what degree they feel pain.


What would happen if the cell did not contain centrioles?

mitosis & meiosis would not proceed normally. the centrioles are responsible for helping form the spindles which pull the chromatids to either side of the dividing cell. so if u didn't have the centrioles (form the asters) then the divided cells would not have an equal numbers of chromosomes at the end. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/centrioles see second def. listed


What is smallest neuron or ganglion in nervous system?

The smallest neurons in the nervous system are called granule cells, which are found in the cerebellum. Ganglia are clusters of neuron cell bodies outside the central nervous system, and the smallest ganglion is likely to vary depending on location in the body.

In cells little pockets filled with fluid are the centrioles true or false?

False. The structure described as "little pockets filled with fluid" are most likely vesicles, not centrioles. Centrioles are cylinder-shaped structures found in animal cells and are involved in organizing the spindle fibers during cell division.
