True. Neurons typically have just one axon, which is the long projection that sends signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

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.


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

The part of the neuron that decides whether to send a message to the next neuron is the axon hillock. It acts as a gatekeeper by integrating incoming signals from other neurons and generating an action potential if the combined signals are strong enough to reach the threshold.


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.


What sheath covers the axon to speed up nerve tranmissions?

The myelin sheath covers the axon and speeds up nerve transmissions by insulating the axon and allowing for faster propagation of electrical signals.

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, a neuron typically has only one axon which carries nerve impulses away from the cell body. However, certain types of neurons, such as those in invertebrates, can have multiple axon-like processes known as neurites that function in a similar way to axons.


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.

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.
