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.
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.
What is a type of neuron with only two dendrites?
The type of nearon with only two dendrites is bipolar.
Do dendrites send or receive signals in the nervous system?
Dendrites receive signals in the nervous system.
