What else can I help you with?
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.
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?
Axons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the neuron cell body. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive incoming signals from axons of other neurons. Together, axons and dendrites play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the nervous system.
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.
Which theory of motivation suggests that all human motives are extensions of basic biological needs?
The theory of motivation that suggests all human motives are extensions of basic biological needs is called the drive reduction theory. This theory posits that motivated behavior is driven by the desire to reduce physiological needs, such as hunger or thirst, in order to maintain homeostasis and achieve a state of equilibrium.
Dendrites are branching extensions of what?
Dendrites are the branching extensions of a neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons. They serve as the main input sites for receiving information from neighboring neurons and play a crucial role in integrating and transmitting signals within the nervous system.
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 extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
Dendrites are the extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses towards the cell body of the neuron.
The numerous small extensions from the soma are known as the?
dendrites
What is the cell body has many short strands branching out from it is called what?
The structure you're referring to is called dendrites. Dendrites are specialized extensions of the cell body in neurons that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.
The cytoplasmic extensions that provide the main receptive surfaces for neurons are what?
The cytoplasmic extensions that provide the main receptive surfaces for neurons are called dendrites. Dendrites receive input from other neurons and transmit this information towards the cell body.
What are the short strands branching out from a neuron that carries messages to the cell body?
dendrites
Which branching structures carry information toward the cell body of a neuron?
Dendrites are the branching structures that carry information toward the cell body of a neuron. They receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body for processing.
Short branched extensions through which neurons receive signals?
dendrites
What are the short strands branching out from a neuron that carry message to the cell body called?
dendrites
Branching fibers extending out from the cell body to receive information from other neutrons are called?
Dendrites. Dendrites are the specialized branching structures of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating incoming information and passing it on for further processing within the neuron.
What is the short branched extensions of the cell body?
^^^ That doesn't help at all!^^^....The answer is dendrites
