Bipolar neurones
gray
No, axons do not contain a nucleus. They are long, slender projections of a nerve cell that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells. The cell body of the neuron contains the nucleus which is responsible for controlling the functions of the cell.
Axons and dendrites are part of neurons. Axons relay signals away from the cell body, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons. Together, they help transmit information throughout the nervous system.
Dendrites conduct impulses toward the cell body, having synapsed with the axons of other neurons.
­The dendrites and cell body. Incoming signals from other neurons are received here.
true
Dendrites are the branched projections of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They contain receptors that detect neurotransmitters released by neighboring neurons. The main function of dendrites is to integrate and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron.
axons conducts electrical impulses away from the neuronal cell body. dendrites are branched neuronal projections that conduct the electrical stimulation received from other neurons to the cell body from which they branch.
Dendrites are the multi-branched projections off the nerve cell body.
this is not true about neurons: dendrites carry information away from the cell body
Axons transfer information away from cells, have smooth surfaces, are singular in a cell, do not have ribosomes, have myelin, and branch away from the cell. Dedrites transport information to the cells, have rough surfaces, are multiple in a cell, have ribosomes, do not have myelin, and branch near the cell.
Neurons (=nerve cells) are the structural and functional unit of the neural tissue and hence the nervous system. Certain neurons may almost equal the length of the body itself. These neurons with longer processes (projections) are the longest cells in the body. Human neural system has about 100 billion neurons. Majority of the neurons occur i the brain. Fully formed neurons never divide and remain in the interphase throughout life. Shortly after birth, new neurons dont develop. Certain neurons have flask shaped cytons (cell body or soma) and are called Purkinje cells, which occur in the cerebellum of the brain.
The most abundant type of macroglial cell, astrocytes(also called astroglia) have numerous projections that anchor neurons to their blood supply.Read more: glial-cell
The egg is the largest cell in the female body, and motor neurons are the largest cell in the male body.
