synapses are very important in the communication of the different nerve cells or neurons - a process called neurotransmission.

∙ 11y agoBecause that allows neurons to provide potentially useful information to different neurons, which can then 'consider' and react to different conditions (or inputs)

Why do neurons have branched endings?
To receive inputs from other neurons.
Short branched extensions of a neuron?
In neurons, short, tapering, diffusely branched processes from the cell body are known as the dendrites. If the dendrites are short/tapering and diffusely branched, then this is referring to the dendrites of motor neurons.
What part of a neuron transmits information to other neurons?
Dendrites receive information from other neurons. A dendrite is a short branched extension of a nerve cell where impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
Axons and dendrites are part of?
They are both part of a neuron. An Axon is long and slender, and a dendrite are the branched projections.
What is a Short branched extensions that carry impulses to the nerve cell body are called?
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals and transmit them to the cell body, where the information is integrated before being passed on to other neurons. They play a critical role in the communication between neurons within the nervous system.

Short branched extensions through which neurons receive signals?
dendrites
What is the long-branched thread extending from the neurons body in the nervous system?
dendrite
Specialized nerve endings on sensory neurons that detect changes inside and outside the body are called?
receptors
What are the 3 types of neurone?
Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Motor neurons usually carry information to muscles and glands. Sensory neurons carry information from sense organs or free endings to the spinal cord or brain. Interneurons act as a go between.
What is the function of the axon endings?
it helps to speed up the process of transmitting messages between neurons.
How many wed endings are there?

How many neurons does the brain have at birth?
100 billion neurons
