Neurons in which dendritic and axonal processes are continuous and the soma lies off to one side are called?

Bipolar neurons have only one axon and one dendrite with the soma between them. There are probably very few, if any, neurons that contain only a single axon and dendrite. However, the concept is useful because some neurons behave as if they only had a single axon and dendrite. These neurons, called bipolar neurons because their cell body sits in between the axon and dendrite (giving the neuron two "poles"), are abundant in the nervous system. One very important type of bipolar neuron occurs in the retina, and is responsible for how we process light at an early level.


What part of neuron carries and receives info?

The part of the neuron that receives the majority of inputs is the dendritic tree. In most neurons its appearance is very similar to what a tree would look like in Autumn with no leaves. The part that carries information away and toward the dendrites of other cells is called the axon. There is only one axon per neuron and they can vary quite considerably in their length.


What happens at the synapse between two neuron?

At the synapse, the electrical impulse between the two neutrons at synapse set of chain chemical reactions which create a chemical impulse at the synapse.


The part of the neuron that decided if the message will travel to the next neuron or not is the what?

The axon terminal is the part of the nerve responsible for sending the message at all. Not only does it send the message, though, it has branching paths which allow it to determine which path it'll go on.


Why only certain cells produce certain products?

Control genes impede certain genes from expressing themselves and allow others to express themselves/ Thus a liver cell will have basically the same genome as a neuron, but will not express axon development and the neuron will not express bile development.

What is the insulating material found around a neuron?

myelin, although it is really only around the AXON of the neuron, not the whole neuron.


Can a neuron have more than two axons?

No. They can have 1,000 dentrites but only one axon.


Can a neuron have multiple axons?

No, each neuron has only one axon, but has multiple dendrites so it can receive information from multiple axons from other multiple neurons.


Where do motor neurons carry signals from?

The entire signal travels in the neuron by a graded potential which is created in the dendrites and the body (soma) of the neuron, then it reaches a spot of the neuron which is called the axon-hillock where the signal now for the first time has encountered "voltage-gated channels" and now can create an Action potential that can propagate through the terminus of the neuron which is the length of the axon.

Only objects that are moving have inertia true or false?

True.


How do you construct a truth table for parenthesis not p q parenthesis if and only if p?

Assuming that you mean not (p or q) if and only if P ~(PVQ)--> P so now construct a truth table, (just place it vertical since i cannot place it vertical through here.) P True True False False Q True False True False (PVQ) True True True False ~(PVQ) False False False True ~(PVQ)-->P True True True False if it's ~(P^Q) -->P then it's, P True True False False Q True False True False (P^Q) True False False False ~(P^Q) False True True True ~(P^Q)-->P True True False False

What is the structure of a neuron and what kinds of neurons are found in the body?

A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called ­dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only one axon. An axon, however, can have more than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell.Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. Nerve fibers are often arranged in parallel bundles covered with connective tissue, something like a package of uncooked spaghetti wrapped in cellophane. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.
