What are the short fibers around the cell body?

The short fibers around the cell body are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body for processing. They play a crucial role in neural communication and information processing in the brain.


What is the name of the short pathway of neurones that impulses in an automatic response?

The short pathway of neurons that allows for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It typically involves a sensory neuron, an interneuron (in some cases), and a motor neuron, allowing for a rapid response to stimuli without involving the brain. This pathway enables quick reactions, such as pulling your hand away from a hot surface. Reflex arcs are crucial for protecting the body from harm.


Short branched extensions of a neuron?

In neurons, short, tapering, diffusely branched processes from the cell body are known as the dendrites. If the dendrites are short/tapering and diffusely branched, then this is referring to the dendrites of motor neurons.


What type of muscle fibers are found in higher proportion in weight lifters?

Type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers are found in higher proportion in weight lifters. These fibers generate more force and are associated with explosive movements and short bursts of intense activity.


What phase of mitosis is the short second phase?

The short second phase of mitosis is called the metaphase. During metaphase, the duplicated chromosomes align and attach to the spindle fibers at the center of the cell. This alignment ensures that during the following phase, anaphase, each daughter cell receives an equal number of chromosomes.

What are staple fibers?

Staple fibers are short, non-continuous fibers. All natural fibers, except silk, come in staple form.


What is a pair of short cylinders each made up of 9 fibers called?

The pair of short cylinders, each made up of 9 fibers is called a "microtubule." Microtubules are important components of the cytoskeleton in cells and play a crucial role in various cellular processes like cell division and intracellular transport.


What is the difference between carded yarn and combed yarn?

Carding partially aligns the fibers and forms them into a thin web that is brought together as a soft, very weak rope of fibers called a carded sliver. Carding is when short wire teeth remove trash and neps (entangled clumps of short, underdeveloped fibers). Combing is used if long-staple fibers are to be spun. It produces a yarn that is superior to a carded yarn in smoothness, fineness, evenness, and strength. Combing aligns fibers in a parallel arrangement & also removes short fibers so fibers in the combed sliver will be more uniform in length.


The many short strands branching out from a neuron that carry messages to the cell body?

The short strands branching out from a neuron that carry messages to the cell body are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body for processing. This communication is essential for the neuron to integrate and respond to incoming information.


In animal-like protists the short threadlike structures that extend from the cell membrane are called what?

The short threadlike structures in animal-like protists that extend from the cell membrane are called cilia. Cilia are used for movement and feeding in these single-celled organisms.
