neurons
The glial cells that surround the cell bodies of peripheral neurons are called satellite cells. Satellite cells provide support and nourishment to the neurons and help regulate their environment.
These neuroglia are called astrocytes. They play a vital role in maintaining the proper chemical balance in the extracellular space around neurons by regulating potassium levels and recycling neurotransmitters.
The distal ends of sensory neurons are called dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals or stimuli from the environment through sensory receptors, such as in the skin, eyes, ears, and other sensory organs. These signals are then transmitted to the cell body of the neuron and eventually to the central nervous system for processing.
Neurons can change over time through a process called neuroplasticity, which involves the creation of new connections between neurons, strengthening or weakening existing connections, and the formation of new neurons. This process allows the brain to adapt and reorganize in response to experiences, learning, and injury. Ultimately, these changes contribute to the brain's ability to learn, remember, and adapt to new situations.
An animal's ability to blend with its environment is called protective camouflage. However, if you are not looking for camouflage as an answer, this ability is also called crypsis.
The ability of the body to protects itself from its environment is called homeostasis.
Sensory neurons are responsible for relaying information from the environment to the brain. These neurons carry signals from sensory organs such as the eyes, ears, skin, and taste buds to the brain for processing and interpretation.
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
Adaptation.
sensory neurons
The ability to respond to a stimulus is called irritability or responsiveness. It refers to an organism's ability to detect and react to changes in its environment.
No, they do no, but, HELLLO!!!! It's called adaptations!
interneurons also called central or association neurons
neurons
Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment fitness.
That ability is called stability. It refers to the state of being firmly fixed in place and not easily moved or disturbed.
