It does the functions of a cell such as endocytosis, exocytosis. It also contains all the regular organelles of an animal cell. Mitosis will make ATP in order for the cell to conduct electricity and other active transporting.

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.
