What else can I help you with?
Is and axon bulb and an axon hillock the same thing?
axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *
Which type of tissue regenerates the best?
Epithelial tissue has the best regenerative ability due to its high turnover rate and constant cell division. Skin and mucous membranes are examples of epithelial tissues that regenerate quickly to maintain barrier functions.
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
What is myelinated nervous tissue?
Myelinated nervous tissue is composed of nerve cells with a fatty substance called myelin sheath covering their axons. This sheath acts as insulation, speeding up the transmission of nerve impulses along the axon. Myelinated tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system.
What is the side branch of the axon?
The side branches of the axon are called axon collaterals. They are smaller branches that extend from the main axon and allow for communication with multiple target cells simultaneously. Axon collaterals play a key role in neural communication and signal transmission.
In a typical neuron sheaths of fatty tissue are called?
In a typical neuron, sheaths of fatty tissue are called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath surrounds parts of the axon of a nerve cell which speeds up neurotransmitters.
Which connective tissue layer directly surrounds each axon in a nerve?
A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium.
The part of peripheral nerve tissue that helps promote regeneration of neurons is the?
The part of the peripheral nerve tissue that helps promote regeneration of neurons is the neurolemma. It refers to the thin sheath around a neural axon.
Is and axon bulb and an axon hillock the same thing?
axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *
The axon is connected to the soma by the?
axon hillock
The axon is made up of?
what is the axon made of
What is a axon hillock?
An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to 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.
What synapses release acetylcholine?
sympathetic preganglionic axon parasympathetic preganglionic axon parasympathetic postganglionic axon
What is the conducting unit of the nerve tissue?
The axon is the conducting part of the neuron. It conducts the impulse from the cell body to the terminals, where ion channels open in response to the impulse, mediators are activated, neurotransmitter crosses synapse and attaches at the post-synaptic membrane, opening the ion channels there and depolarizing the cell, and propagating the impulse towards another cell body via the post-synaptic cell's axon.
Why was the squid axon particularly appropriate for nerve research?
The squid axon is the largest axon known in the whole animal kingdom, the axon of the squid is also very much like humans and most mammal axon, thus making is an ideal axon to use during research
The long process of a neuron is called the?
Axon
