What are the distal ends of sensory neurons called?
The distal ends of sensory neurons are called dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals or stimuli from the environment through sensory receptors, such as in the skin, eyes, ears, and other sensory organs. These signals are then transmitted to the cell body of the neuron and eventually to the central nervous system for processing.
What are small distal branches of an axon?
Small distal branches of an axon are called axon terminals or synaptic terminals. These structures are specialized endings of the axon that release neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons or muscle cells. The axon terminals facilitate the transmission of signals between neurons at synapses.

Is the foot distal or proximal to the heart?

Which joint is distal to the knee?

How do you the word distal in a sentence?
Fingers are distal to the arm in reference to the body.
Is the knee is distal to the hip?
Yes. Distal means farther from the point of attachment or from the center of the body. So the knee is distal to the hip, and the food would be distal to the knee and so on.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the humerus distal from the thumb?
The humerus is proximal, not distal, to the thumb.
Is the popliteal artery proximal or distal to the femoral artery?
