What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
Which two elements are needed to help nerve cells send electrical signals?
It's Sodium and Potassium are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses
Does Neuroglia transmit nerve impulses?
No, neuroglia do not transmit nerve impulses. Neuroglia are support cells of the nervous system that help to nourish, protect, and maintain the environment of neurons. Nerve impulses are transmitted by neurons.
How does a nerve cell function in a human?
The function of a nerve cell is to carry messages around someones body. To adapt to their job, they're very long and are branched at each end. Nerve cells also receive, carry and pass electrical impulses through someones body.
What is a specialization of a nerve cell?
Nerve cells have dendrites at the end. They have a long Cytoplasm to transmit nerve impulses for long distances.
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
Do nerve cells carry electrical impulses?
Of course they do. They are modified for that
What is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses toward the cells?
Dendrite is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell.
What carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.
What cells carry impulses from sense organs to the brain and spinal cord?
Neurons (nerve cells)
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
What information do nerve impulses require?
Nerve impulses do not carry information, they only carry impulses. It is the brain and spinal cord that interpret that impulse into information.
How is the nerve special?
Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.
How do auditory pathways carry nerve impulses to auditory cortices?
the auditory nerve pathways carry impulses to the auditory cortices in the ?
What are the functions of hormones in the body?
Hormones are called "chemical messengers". They carry information to cells in a way similar to nerve impulses. The nerve impulses are cell to cell. Hormones direct activities.
