The cell body (soma) is the factory of the neuron. It produces all the proteins for the dendrites, axons and synaptic terminals and contains specialized organelles such as the mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, secretory granules, ribosomes and polysomes to provide energy and make the parts, as well as a production line to assemble the parts into completed products.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of cell perform the main function of the nervous system?
Neurons are the main cells that perform the function of transmitting electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. They are specialized for communicating signals between different parts of the body.
What are dendrites and the cell body in?
Nerves and nervous system.
A neuron's cell body is termed what in the cns?
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
What nervous cell is 90 percent of the nervous system?
The neuron is the nervous cell that makes up about 90 percent of the nervous system. Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the body.
What body system does the neuron belong to?
Nervous System - since brain and the spinal cord are part of it.
What is the function of the cell body of the nervous system?
the impulses are brought to the cell body from whre its carried by the axon to the synapse
What is the structure and function unit of the nervous system?
The structural and functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron cell.
What kind of cell perform the main function of the nervous system?
Neurons are the main cells that perform the function of transmitting electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. They are specialized for communicating signals between different parts of the body.
What are dendrites and the cell body in?
Nerves and nervous system.
A neuron's cell body is termed what in the cns?
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
The cellular unit of the nervous system is the neuron What is the major function of this cell type?
Transmit messages (nerve impulses) from one part of the body to another
What body system is the nerve cell in?
A nerve cell is part of the nervous system, a network of neurons that carry signals throughout the body.
What is the function of a dendrite in the nervous system?
Dendrites are extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. They play a crucial role in allowing neurons to communicate with each other and process information in the nervous system.
What two body systems bring nutrients into cell of a body?
The circulatory system and the skeletal system
What nervous cell is 90 percent of the nervous system?
The neuron is the nervous cell that makes up about 90 percent of the nervous system. Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the body.
What is the function of an axon in the nervous system and how does it contribute to the transmission of signals within the body?
The axon is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that carries electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. It acts as a pathway for transmitting signals quickly and efficiently throughout the body, allowing for communication between different parts of the nervous system.
What nerve processes transport impulses to the cell body?
Axons are the nerve processes that transport impulses to the cell body.
