What statement best describes a function of a nerve cell?
A nerve cell, or neuron, transmits electrical and chemical signals throughout the body. It receives input from sensory organs or other neurons, processes this information, and sends signals to control muscle movement or trigger further reactions. Neurons play a crucial role in coordinating communication between different parts of the body and are essential for proper nervous system function.
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of electrical activity called an action potential. This action potential travels along the length of the neuron's axon and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, allowing communication between neurons.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
What is the structure of a neuron and its role in the brain?
A neuron has dendrites (as inputs), a cell body (soma), and an output (axon).The neuron is the functional unit of the brain: neurons receive sensory information, process that information, store it, and convey commands to muscles and glands based on that information and its processing.
What part is a neuron receives signals?
dendrite
What part of the neuron sends information to others?
The axon of a neuron is the part that sends information to other neurons or cells in the body. It transmits electrical signals known as action potentials from the cell body to the axon terminals where communication with other neurons occurs.
What is the term for the neuron that transmits sensory information into the nervous system?
love
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
Where does a neuron transmits it signals?
synapse
What is the different of neuron to an odinary cells?
A neuron is a fundamental cell of the nervous tissue which receives and maufactures information and generates and transmits responses and cells are composed of several different compounds (water, carbohydrates, proteins etc.) which combine to forma cell. In conclusion, a neuron basically belongs to the nervous tissue while ordinary cells generally belong to the blood tissue.
What neurons receive information from sensory organs?
Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.

A motor neuron transmits signals to?
Muscle fibers
What is the nerve fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons?
The axon
What is a part of a neuron that receives messages?
The dendrites are the part of a neuron that receives messages from other neurons. They receive chemical signals from neighboring neurons and transmit the information to the cell body.
What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
