Perikaryons with cell processes are called?
neuron
What part of the neuron carries out its life processes?
cell body
What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
The number of processes extending from the neuron's cell body determines its classification. Unipolar neurons have a single process, bipolar neurons have two processes, and multipolar neurons have multiple processes extending from the cell body.
Does the cell body process information in the neuron?
The main part of the neuron, containing the nucleus and other organelles and serving as the site of the cell's metabolic reactions; processes input from the dendrites and if input is large enough relays to the axon, where an impulse is initiated.
What term refers to the nerve cell body including all of its processes and coverings?
Neuron
What neuron processes convey messages away from the cell body?
Axons are the neuron processes that convey messages away from the cell body. They are long, fiber-like structures that transmit electrochemical signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What are the two types of fibers that project from a neuron's cell body?
The two fibers that a neuron has are the nerve and the myelin fibers
What determine whether a neuron is unipolar bipolar multipolar?
The structure of a neuron is determined by its function and location within the nervous system. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body; bipolar neurons have two processes extending from the cell body; multipolar neurons have multiple processes extending from the cell body. The specific tasks the neuron needs to perform and its location in the nervous system dictate its structure.
The cytoplasm within a cell body of a neuron is called?
The cytoplasm within a cell body of a neuron is called perikaryon or soma. It contains organelles necessary for cellular function, such as mitochondria and ribosomes, and plays a role in various cellular processes within the neuron.
What is a stretched out cell that carries signals?
A nerve cell, or neuron, is a stretched out cell that carries signals in the form of electrical impulses throughout the body. These signals allow for communication between different parts of the body and are essential for processes such as movement, sensation, and thinking.
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
These processes are called axons. Axons are long, slender projections of a neuron that conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body to transmit information to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Which animal cell is sometimes called a neuron?
a neuron is a nerve cell
