What else can I help you with?
What determines the number of dendrites and axons an association neuron grows to connect with other neurons?
SOMA
Why are nerve tissues called the information network of our bodies?
Because they have long branching dendrites that connect one cell to another.
Do nerve cells have long arms to connect with other cells?
Yes. These are called dendrites becasue they do look like branches on a tree.
Where is the dendrites located at?
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
What is the plural word for dendrite?
The plural form of dendrite is dendrites.
Why does Dendrites attaches to the muscle?
Dendrites do not attach to muscles; rather, they are the branching extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons. In the context of muscle contraction, motor neurons transmit electrical signals through their axons, which connect to muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions. The neurotransmitter released at these junctions stimulates the muscle fibers to contract. Thus, dendrites play a crucial role in receiving signals that ultimately lead to muscle activation.
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
Dendrites are the extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses towards the cell body of the neuron.
What are the short fibers that extend from the neuron called?
The short fibers that extend from a neuron are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body of the neuron.
Why dendrites come from the greek word tree?
dendrites < δενδρίτες < δένδρο [thendro] = tree
What is the function of the dendrites in the neuron?
The dendrites receive the data or signal from another neuron for the soma.
Can you explain the relationship between axons and dendrites in a neuron using a diagram?
In a neuron, axons are long projections that transmit signals away from the cell body, while dendrites are shorter projections that receive signals from other neurons. Axons and dendrites connect at junctions called synapses, where signals are passed between neurons. This relationship allows for communication and signal transmission within the nervous system. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a diagram in this text-based format.
Dentrites are branching extensions of?
Dendrites are branching extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons. They play a crucial role in transmitting electrical impulses toward the cell body, facilitating communication within the nervous system. By increasing the surface area of the neuron, dendrites enhance its ability to connect with multiple synapses and integrate information.
