It would have no energy in the form of ATP to do its job. Mitochondria are the power sources of all cells.

Which portion of a neuron contains all of the organelles?

The cell body, or soma, of a neuron contains all of the organelles, including the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and others. This is where most of the metabolic functions of the cell occur.


What connects sensory to motor neuron?

Interneurons(also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) are multipolar neurons that connects sensory neurons to motor neurons.


What is the entire series of events through a three-neuron loop?

In a three-neuron loop, the first neuron sends a signal to the second neuron via a synapse. The second neuron processes the signal and sends it to the third neuron through another synapse. Finally, the third neuron integrates the signal and produces a response or transmits it further in the neural network.


What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?

The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.


What is the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron known as?

The opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron is called a synapse. At the synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit the signal.

Is mitochondria a motor neuron?

No it is not a cell. It is a cell organelle.


What might a neuron have?

Neurons have lots of things. They have the usual cellular apparatus, a membrane, a nucleus, mitochondria, etc. They can also have some distinctive neuron type structures, which are axons and dendrites.


The cytoplasm within a cell body of a neuron is called?

The cytoplasm within a cell body of a neuron is called perikaryon or soma. It contains organelles necessary for cellular function, such as mitochondria and ribosomes, and plays a role in various cellular processes within the neuron.


How does neuron produce energy?

Neurons produce energy through a process called cellular respiration, where they use glucose and oxygen to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as energy currency. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the neuron and is essential for maintaining the neuron's functions, such as transmitting signals and maintaining its resting membrane potential.

What ion is found on the inside of a neuron?

The main ions found inside a neuron are potassium and organic anions. The organic anions cannot cross the cell membrane but potassium ions can. It is the diffusion of potassium ions out of the cell which is the main cause of the resting membrane potential.


What is known as the cells stomach?

It is the mitochondria. They produce energy in cell


Where is the neuron?

The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.


Why is a neuron called an interneuron?

A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move


Define relay neuron?

a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain


What is the 3 types of neuron?

one type of neuron is the motor neuron


Cytoplasm that surrounds the nucleus of a neuron?

The cytoplasm that surrounds the nucleus of a neuron is called the perikaryon or cell body. It contains various organelles necessary for cellular function, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria. The perikaryon is where most of the cell's metabolic activities occur.
