Axon

of the axon. The soma is basically the workshop of all the neurons, for example it manufactures proteins, process nutrients, supplies energy to neurons that they need to function. Second, the dendrites are the short branching fibers. Moreover, they are responsible for receiving information from neighboring neurons and transmitting this data to the soma. Third, the axon is the elongated fiber that spreads from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal. The axon…

Regulatory Behavior Paper The nervous system is in charge of receiving and relaying the information that is collected; it is also in charge of monitoring and responding to both the internal and the external changes that help to control and coordinate the body’s functions. The sensory stimuli is able to become more apparent with the help of a strong and productive nervous system; this would include any change in emotion, memory or the environment. Neurons are known as the messengers of the body.…

the cell structure that I learned about in psychology was axons. Axons carry information away from the cell body. The last structure is the myelin sheath. This is the layer of fat cells which insulate the axons. The purpose is to speed up the transmissions of nerve impulses. All of these parts work together in order to transmit information. The route a message takes to do this is through the dendrite, through the cell body, and to the axon. What I discovered while taking these two classes is…

back forth signaling between the brain and the nerve cells helps the brain to carry the right action. Action potentials are housed by neuron structures which are made up of axons and dendrites. The synapses is the little gap between neurons across which they communicate with neurotransmitters. Every neuron usually has only one axon which can be short or long leaving the cell body however some of them can have many branches. The cell body receives…

in families. They cause trouble with motor and sensory nerves. CMT is caused by a mutation in the genes that proteins are produced that involve the structure and function of the peripheral nerve axon or the myelin sheath. A nerve cell would communicate by send information electrical signals to the axon and increase…

Consisting of the brain and the spinal cord, the central nervous system is one of the three parts of the nervous system in human body. This system is responsible for information and action processing. It coordinates the response to a stimulus by integrating sensory information and responding properly in the environment. The brain, as the control center of human body, interprets the sensory information (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch) from all parts of the body. On the other hand, the…

to retain the knowledge we had just learned, so the less stress you have while learning the easier it becomes to learn that skill. Our dendrites obtain the knowledge from synaptic firing because of the conductivity to the axon terminals which send the knowledge through the axon and the soma to the dendrites which will cause them to grow as we learn more about the thing stored in that…

A nerve cell is also called a motor neuron, which is made from a cell body, an axon and axon terminals. The cell body contains a nucleus and dendrites that receive the signals and send it down the axon that is covered in myelin sheath. The axon terminals are connected to the muscles creating a neuromuscular junction. This is where the signal is relayed to the muscle. There are two groups of motor neurons: upper…

The purpose of synapses is to pass chemical signals to one neurons to another one. Synapse is defined as a "where a presynaptic terminal ends in close proximity to a receiving dendrite (NIDA. 1996. 43)." The brain is an organ that controls different functions of the body. Neurons controls body functions, behaviors, and emotions but exactly how do neurons do this? First, let's define neuron. "A neuron is a specialized cell that can produce different actions because of its precise connections with…

Neurons are one of the most important cells in living animals. There are billions of neurons throughout our bodies, especially the brain which is the control house of the body. Neurons are what help us see, hear, taste, and feel sensation. This is all do to a critical phenomenon known as action potential. Action potential is caused by a change in various ions, specifically sodium and potassium. When the neuron is in a resting state with -70mV, there is a great amount of potassium ions inside the…
