What is the function of the axon hillock?
An axon hillock is part of a neuron that acts as a bridge between the cell body and the axon. Electrical impulses from the dendrites and cell body are summed at this point, which is then sent down the axon.
How does blocking retrograde axoplasmic transport in an axon affect the activity of a neuron?
Blocking retrograde axoplasmic transport in an axon can disrupt the neuron's ability to receive signals from the axon terminal such as growth factors, nutrients, and organelles, leading to decreased cell function and potentially cell death. This could impair neuronal communication and synaptic function, affecting overall brain function.
What are the function of the nerve fibers?
Arevbranching fibers at the end of the axon that lead the nervous impulse from the axon to the synapse
Can a nerve fiber survive without its cell or its axon?
No, a nerve fiber cannot survive without its cell body or axon. The cell body provides nutrients and support to the axon, while the axon is responsible for transmitting signals. Without either of these components, the nerve fiber would no longer function.
What is the membrane of a nerve cell is comprised of?
Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
Description and function of the artery?
arteries description and function
What is the function axon terminal?
the primary function is to send nerve signals to the various parts of the body
What is function of axon terminal?
the primary function is to send nerve signals to the various parts of the body
What is the function the dendrite?
Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.

An axon hillock is part of a neuron that acts as a bridge between the cell body and the axon. Electrical impulses from the dendrites and cell body are summed at this point, which is then sent down the axon.

What carry messages to cells?
Hormones and neurotransmitters are "messengers" that influence cell function.

Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
Why does a normal axon always propagate action potentials from the axon hillock to the axon terminals?
It is very difficult to answer this question. But this is the basic mechanism in case of diodes of the electronics also. It can be easily explained there. With out such unidirectional flow nervous system can not function at all.
What is the function of the axon endings?
it helps to speed up the process of transmitting messages between neurons.
