What else can I help you with?
What type of cell sends and receives messages?
Neuron
How is a neuron different from an ordinary body cell?
A neuron is different from an ordinary body cell because it transmits messages throughout the brain. It also sends electrical messages.
What is the importance of a neuron?
A neuron sends messages from your brain to your body
What receives neuron messages and sends them to the cell body?
The dendrite receives a stimulus and conducts the nerve impulse toward the cell body.
What is an extension of the neuron cell body that sends information away from the neuron?
the axon
Type of cell that sends messages quickly?
A type of cell that sends messages quickly is a neuron. Neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals at high speed. This rapid communication allows for the coordination of various physiological functions in the body.
What statements characterizes an excitatory neuron?
It sends an impulse back to the cell body of the neuron
How does the nervous system send messages?
The nervous system sends messages through electrochemical signals. When a nerve cell (neuron) is stimulated, it generates an electrical impulse that travels along the neuron. At the end of the neuron, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, where they trigger a response in the next neuron in the circuit.
Carries messages to the cell body of a neuron?
dendrites
What is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals?
A neuron is an excitable nerve cell that sends electrical signals when stimulated
Carries messages away from the cell body of a neuron?
axon
Move messages away from neuron cell body?
Axon.
