What is the function and adaptation of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have many adaptions that make them functional. Some of these adaptions include longer axons in order to deliver action potentials a long distance. The dendrites carry the nerve impulses to the cell body. The myelin sheath increases the rate of transmission of nerve impulses.
3 parts of neuron?
Cell body (soma): Contains the nucleus and organelles necessary for normal cell function. Dendrites: Branch-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. Axon: Long, slender projection that carries electrical signals away from the cell body to communicate with other neurons or muscle cells.
What allows nerve cells to transmit signals over long distances?
The neuron has a long, thin tube called the axon which sends an electric nerve impulse very quickly, akin to an electrical cord.
True or false a neuron can have only one axon?
True. Neurons typically have just one axon, which is the long projection that sends signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What type of cell is in your brain and is shaped to send signals?
Neurons are one type of brain cell that sends and receives signals. Neurons have three parts: 1. cell body - where the nucleus is 2. axon - extends from the neuron 3. dendrites-branches that extend from the far end of the axon I like to think of it as a cell with a long arm that has branches at the end. The long arm has insulation (myelin) around it that makes it conduct signals faster than a non myelinated cell. Take two neurons whose axons extend toward each other so the dendrites are close. When the electric wave sent from the first cell reaches the dendrites at the far end, the signal, in the form of a molecule with and electric charge, moves to where the dendrite of the other neuron can catch the signal and send it on. You need at least 2 neurons to transmit a signal: one to make the signal and the other to receive it.
Why is the iphone bigger than the touch?
It has to be capable of sending long distance signals like cell phones do. This requires more room inside the iPod.
Information on smoke signals?
Smoke signals is a long form of long distance communication. These signals were used in Ancient China and by the Native Americans and Yamanas.
The earliest form of long distance communication?
smoke signals.
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other cells. Its main job is to transmit these signals to other neurons, muscle cells, or glands in the body.
What layer of the atmosphere is important for long distance radio signals?
From what I have researched, the answer to that is the Ionosphere-upper mesosphere/ lower thermosphere, though I do not know if that is 100% correct.
Is long distance free?
In some cell phone plans, long distance is at the same rates as local calls.
In middle and long distance track races what signals one lap to go?
A ring of the Bell
How do you communicate long distance before cell phones?
You didn't
How much do Comwave charge for long distance calls?
Comware does not charge for long distance calls. The long distance call use is included in the cell phone contract. However, there is a charge for international used of the Comware long distance phone service. A call to the local Comwave cell phone company will provide a more adept explanation in regards to charging for long distance calls.
