The thick bundle of axons that allows the right and left hemispheres to communicate is called the?
The corpus callosum is the thick bundle of axons that allows communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Do dendrites release neurotransmitters?
Not really, but sort of, eventually. Initially they receive neurotransmitters which are originally released by axon terminals into the synaptic cleft; then, after they have done their job of opening ligand-gated ion pores to allow sodium ions into the dendrite, which initiates a graded potential in the dendrite, they are then released so they can be re-absorbed and re-used by the axon terminals as new impulses reach the axon terminals.But functionally it is the axon which releases neurotransmitters, when an action potential causes it, so that dendrites can receive them. The dendrites only "release" them after their job is done, so they can be re-used.
The part of the neuron that has branched extensions that are specialized to receive information are the?
dendrites. Dendrites are specialized structures on a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating information from multiple sources to determine the neuron's response.
Dendrites are branching extensions of?
neurons that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. They are covered in dendritic spines, where synapses with other neurons are formed.
Is a dendrite bordered by a synapse?
No, a dendrite is not bordered by a synapse. A synapse is a junction between two neurons where communication occurs by the release of neurotransmitters. Dendrites are the branching structures of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons through these synapses.
Axons and dendrites is another word for?
Axons are the output element of a neuron, and dendrites are the input elements of a neuron.
Where is the dendrites located at?
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron what does each do?
The ones carrying the input are the dendrites, the ones carrying the output are the axons.
What are Axons and dendrites are part of?
cell
What are the processes of the system?
dendrites and axons
How are axons and dendrites alike?
Axons and dendrites are both extensions of a neuron. They are involved in transmitting electrical signals within the nervous system. Axons carry signals away from the cell body, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons.
The cerebral cortex is the:a.gray matter, the axons and dendrites of neuronsb.gray matter, the cell bodies of neurons?
A.) The grey matter, the axons and dendrites of neurons.
What pairs lists the fiber like extensions that are components of neurons a axons and myelin b synapses and myelin c dendrites and axons d dendrites and synapses?
C. Dendrites and axons both extend from the cell body of the neuron in a branching fashion.
What are the processes of the nervous system?
dendrites and axons
What part of the nerve are Axons and dendrites?
cell
Axons and Dendrites are part of what kind of cell?
Neurons, of the nervous system. The dendrites receive impulses, and the axons send them to another neuron or an effector cell.
What is the key difference in the functions of dendrites and axons in a neuron?
The key difference between dendrites and axons in a neuron is that dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body, while axons transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or cells.
