When neuron stimulated enough it?

When a neuron is stimulated enough, it reaches its threshold potential and fires an action potential. This action potential travels down the axon of the neuron, allowing for the communication of signals to other neurons or cells.


Communication within a neuron is electrical while communication between neurons is chemical.?

Yes, that's correct. Within a neuron, communication occurs through electrical signals that travel along the neuron's axon. When these signals reach the synapse (junction between neurons), they trigger the release of chemical neurotransmitters that carry the signal to the next neuron.


The part of the neuron that has branched extensions that are specialized to receive information are the?

dendrites. Dendrites are specialized structures on a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating information from multiple sources to determine the neuron's response.


The resting potential of a neuron is approximately?

The resting potential of a neuron is approximately -70 millivolts. This is due to the difference in charge across the neuron's membrane, with the inside being more negatively charged compared to the outside.


Is the resting potential of a neuron approximately -70 microvolts?

Yes, the resting potential of a neuron is typically around -70 millivolts (mV), not microvolts. The resting potential is the membrane potential of a neuron when it is not being stimulated to send a signal.

How does the shape of a nerve help them?

Each cell type has evolved a shape that is best related to its function. For example, the neuron in Figure below has long, thin extensions (axons and dendrites) that reach out to other nerve cells. The extensions help the neuron pass chemical and electrical messages quickly through the body.


Does the shape of a boat affect the weight it can carry?

Yes I think the shape of a boat will affect a foil boat because when you change the shape of a boat like when you make a triangle or a square it will affect the weight it can carry


What happens to the neuron if sodium channels do not open?

If sodium channels do not open, the neuron will not be able to depolarize properly and generate an action potential. This can disrupt the transmission of signals along the neuron and impair communication with other neurons. It can also affect the overall functionality of the nervous system.


How do translations reflections and rotations affect the size and shape of an image?

None of these transformations affect the size nor shape of the image.


Where do nerve impulses leave the neuron?

Nerve impulses are transmitted down the axon and leave the neuron via the terminal bouton at the synaptic interface, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to affect the post-synaptic cell..
