A typical neuron has more than one?

axon


Why is there no such thing as a typical neuron?

A typical neuron does not exist because each one functions differently. Even neurons in the same person behave differently compared to each other.


What functional advantage does a neuron with several dendrites have over a neuron with only one dendrite?

A neuron with several dendrites can receive input from a larger number of other neurons simultaneously, allowing for integration of multiple signals. This increases the complexity and specificity of information processing within the neuron. Having multiple dendrites also enables the neuron to sample a wider range of its environment for incoming signals.


Are there more than one afferent neuron that will send a message to the brain?

No afferent neuron simply refers to any neuron bringing information to the brain. There are tons of afferent neurons bringing signals from all different parts and organs of the body. One neuron is not able to transfer all of the action potentials from the entire body through it, and thus many are needed.


Why are nerve fibers sometims more than a meter in length?

No neuron ever has more than one axon; however in invertebrates such as insects or leeches the axon sometimesconsists of several regions that function more or less


Can a synapse connect more than 2 neurons?

No, a synapse is a specialized junction between two neurons where communication occurs through the release of neurotransmitters. Each synapse allows for communication between one presynaptic neuron and one postsynaptic neuron.


What is the sequence of a typical reflex arc?

A typical reflex arc consists of five components: a sensory receptor, a sensory neuron, an interneuron in the spinal cord or brain, a motor neuron, and an effector organ (muscle or gland). When a stimulus is detected by the sensory receptor, a signal is sent along the sensory neuron to the spinal cord or brain. The interneuron then processes the information and sends a signal along the motor neuron to the effector organ, which produces the response.


Does a neuron have a axon?

Most neurons contain one axon. There have never been more than one found. However, some neurons contain no axon at all.


What is a presynaptic neuron?

a neuron from the axon terminal of which an electrical impulse is transmitted across a synaptic cleft to the cell body or one or more dendrites of a postsynaptic neuron by the release of a chemical neurotransmitter.


What is the 3 types of neuron?

one type of neuron is the motor neuron


In a typical animal cell does the cytoplasm occupy almost all of the volume or a little more than half the volume or one quarter or a very small part?

in a typical animal cell, the cytoplasm occupies a little more than half the volume.


What effect do neurotransmitter from one neuron have on the next neuron?

The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
