Parts Of The Neuron

Question 1

Neuron

Answer 1

The basic cell that makes up the nervous system and that receives and send messages within that system. It also transforms and relays electrical signals.

Question 2

Dendrites

Answer 2

Branch like structures of a neuron amanting from the cell body that receive messages from other neurons.

Question 3

Dendrites

Answer 3

Branch like structures of a neuron amanting from the cell body that receive messages from other neurons.

Question 4

Soma

Answer 4

The cell body of the new Ron responsible for maintaining the life of the cell. The proteins are made to be transported throughout the exam and dendrites here. It contains the nucleus of the cell and keeps the entire cell alive and functioning.

Question 5

Soma

Answer 5

The cell body of the new Ron responsible for maintaining the life of the cell. The proteins are made to be transported throughout the exam and dendrites here. It contains the nucleus of the cell and keeps the entire cell alive and functioning.

Question 6

Axon

Answer 6

A fibre attached to the cell body that carries the neural impulses throughout its length to the other cells.

Tube like structure of neuron that carries the neural message from the cell body to the exon terminals for communication with other cells.

Question 7

Axon

Answer 7

A fibre attached to the cell body that carries the neural impulses throughout its length to the other cells.

Tube like structure of neuron that carries the neural message from the cell body to the exon terminals for communication with other cells.

Question 8

Axon terminals

Answer 8

Enlarged ends of exonal branches of the neuron specialised for communication between cells.

Branching of the end of the exon into several fibres which are shorter than axon that have little knobs on the ends called as presynaptic terminals, synaptic knobs, and terminal buttons.

Question 9

Myelin sheath

Answer 9

Fatty substances produced by certain glial cells that code the exams of neurones to insulate protect and speed up the neural impulse.

Question 10

Tracts
CNS

Answer 10

Bundles of myelin coated cables (of axon) in the central nervous system.

Question 11

Nerves

Answer 11

Bundles of axons coated in myelin that travel together through the body.

Question 12

Glial cells

Answer 12

Cell that provides support for the neurons to grow on and around, deliver nutrients to neurons, produce Myelin to coat axons, clean up waste products and dead neurons, influence information processing, and during prenatal development influence the generation of new neurons.

Question 13

Dendritic Spines

Answer 13

The small protrusions/ structures that recieve inputs from the axons of other neurons.
These are the post synaptic contact points for many synapses.

Question 14

Dendritic Spines

Answer 14

The small protrusions/ structures that recieve inputs from the axons of other neurons.
These are the post synaptic contact points for many synapses.
