What is the input of the neuron structure?
A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
What structure is the axon hillock the orgin of?
Is defined as the distance and direction from the orgin to an
Does dendrites support the axon from within?
Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and pass them to the cell body, which then transmits the signal to the axon. The axon is supported by structures called neurofilaments and microtubules that help maintain its structure and facilitate the transport of materials within the axon.
How do nerve impulses cross the gap between the axon and the next structure?
Curently unknown...
Neurons are classified on the basis of their structure as?
Neurons are classified into different types based on their structure as follows: multipolar neurons with many dendrites and a single axon, bipolar neurons with one dendrite and one axon, and unipolar neurons with a single process extending from the cell body that branches into dendrites and an axon.

What structure releases neurotransmitters?
The axon terminals
A long structure leaving the cell body that action potential travel along is called the?
It is the Axon
What does not belong axon terminal synaptic knob bouton axon collateral?
Bouton does not belong as it refers to a swollen region along an axon where synapses are found, while axon terminal, synaptic knob, and axon collateral are all parts of the structure of a neuron.
The junction between each axon tip and the next structure?
the but
Compare the jobs of the axon and the dendritres?
Axons receive input, dendrites put-out/send output.
How is the structure of a neuron related to its functions?
The function of a neuron is to convey or process signals.The structure of a neuron allows these functions to occur.The relevant components of a neuron comprising its structure are:dendrites (inputs), soma(cell body), axon hillock (signal strength assessing trigger point), axon (output), axon terminal branches, and axon terminal buttons.Neurons receive signals, either from other neurons, or from receptor cells; they either simply convey the signal along the axon, or evaluate its strength and send it along the axon if the input is strong enough.The structure of the neuron allows this function to happen in the following way: the dendrites receive chemical messengers through a synapse from an axon terminal button, which opens pores in the dendrite which allow sodium ions in, creating an electric voltage; this voltage propagates down the dendrite and over the somato the axon hillock, where, if it is greater than a triggering value, it can cause the axon to fire an action potential along its length; when the action potential reaches an axon terminal button, it causes calcium ion pores to open in the button, which causes small bags of neurotransmitter chemicals to merge with the membrane of the terminal button, releasing the neurotransmitter chemicals into the synaptic cleft (gap), where they diffuse over to a dendrite.

What is an axon-terminal?
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.
