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.
The resting potential of a neuron is approximately?
The resting potential of a neuron is approximately -70 millivolts. This is due to the difference in charge across the neuron's membrane, with the inside being more negatively charged compared to the outside.
If a resting neuron is stimulated and there is an inward flow of positive charges into the cell the membrane potential will?
If a resting neuron is stimulated and there is an inward flow of positive charges into the cell, the membrane potential will depolarize, meaning the inside of the cell becomes less negative. This can trigger an action potential if the depolarization reaches the threshold level.
What changes occur in the neuron during an action potential?
During an action potential, the neuron undergoes a rapid change in membrane potential as sodium ions rush into the cell, leading to depolarization. Subsequently, potassium ions move out of the cell, repolarizing the membrane back to its resting state. This rapid change in membrane potential allows for the transmission of electrical signals along the neuron.
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.
What part of a neuron houses the nucleus?
The cell body houses the nucleus.Cell body
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
Which neuron has its cell body inside the spinal cord?
cell body
What does a neuron cell contain?
A typical neuron consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon.
Where is the nerve cell neuron?
in your body!
What is a cell body of neuron?
The soma
A neuron's cell body is termed what in the cns?
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
What part of neuron houses the nucleus?
The cell body (soma) of a neuron houses the nucleus, which contains the genetic material of the cell necessary for its functioning.
Is the largest part of a typical neuron the cell body?
cell body XD
What are the extensions of the cell body?
The extensions of the neuron cell body (soma) are called dendrites. Refer to the related link below for an illustration of a neuron.
What is an extension of the neuron cell body that sends information away from the neuron?
the axon
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
