What part of the brain has branching fingers that receive signals?
The neuron has dendrites that receive signals from other cells and axons that bring the signal to the next cell.
Why are nerve cells circle?
Nerve Cells are circle because their anatomical shape reflects their physiological job. They are circle because they consist of axons, dendrites and a cell body and they carry electronic signals throughout your whole body! :]
What are nerve axon tracks made of?
The axons of nerve cells are surrounded by myelin sheeths - a protective covering that allows for saltatory conduction down the axons, increasing speed and decreasing loss of signal. Axons make up the tissue known as "white matter."
Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
What is the name of covering of axon?
Because this is tissue from the brain (CNS), it is an oligodendrocyte which wraps around axons of neurons in the CNS to form a fatty myelin sheath. If it were PNS axons in say spinal or cranial nerves, the answer would be be Schwann cells.
What is gray matter made out of?
Neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and both unmyelinated axons and myelinated axons), glial cells (astroglia and oligodendrocytes) and capillaries.
How are nerve cells adapted to their functions?
By the axons and the dendrites that help the transmition of electric signals all around the nerve system.
What part of the brain has branching fingers that receive signals?
The neuron has dendrites that receive signals from other cells and axons that bring the signal to the next cell.
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
What is white matter in the brain composed of?
largely or entirely composed of nerve fibers and contain few or no neuronal cell bodies or dendrites.
Why are nerve cells circle?
Nerve Cells are circle because their anatomical shape reflects their physiological job. They are circle because they consist of axons, dendrites and a cell body and they carry electronic signals throughout your whole body! :]
What are nerve axon tracks made of?
The axons of nerve cells are surrounded by myelin sheeths - a protective covering that allows for saltatory conduction down the axons, increasing speed and decreasing loss of signal. Axons make up the tissue known as "white matter."
What pick up the stimuli and send it to the brain or spinal cord?
Neurons, or nerve cells, pick up the impulses and send them to other neurons through axons and dendrites until it reaches the spinal cord.
Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?
No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
What is the fatty tissue that covers axons and speeds up impulses as they travel from cell to cell?
That substance is called the myelin cell or myelin sheath.
How are messages carries in neurons?
Neurons send electric impulses to your cells via the dendrites. The Axons carry the electrical impulses away from the cell. This process sends out signals to your brain for all of your body processes such as muscle movement.
What tissue sends messages from brain to body?
Nerve cells called neurons sends messages from brain to body along fibers called axons.
