    concentration is increased? -The resting membrane potential will become more positive when K+ concentration is increased. 2. Explain why the resting membrane potential had the same value in the cell body and in the axon. -The resting membrane potential has the same value in the cell body and the axon because the typical resting membrane potential is the same throughout the entire neuron. 3. Describe what would happen to the resting membrane potential if the sodium-potassium transport pump was blocked

    They may be one to several. 2. Axon or Axis - It is a single long process of uniform thickness. The part of cyton from where the axon arises is called Axon hillock and is the most sensitive part of a neuron. An axon does not have Nissls granules‚ golgi complex‚ ribosome‚ etc. So cyton supplies protein to axon. Its cell membrane and cytoplasm are known as axolemma and axoplasm respectively. Axon ends in a group of branches called terminal arborizations (axon terminals or telodendria). They have

    which only one protoplasmic process (neurite) extends from the cell body. Most neurons are multipolar‚ generating several dendrites and an axon: unipolar neurons are exceptions to this rule. These would be primary sensory neurons such as the ones found in the dorsal root ganglion. A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single (usually long) axon and many dendrites‚ allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons. These dendritic branches can also emerge

    a projection called an axon‚ which conduct the nerve signal. At the other end of the axon‚ the axon terminals transmit the electro-chemical signal across a synapse (the gap between the axon terminal and the receiving cell). The word "neuron" was coined by the German scientist Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried von Waldeyer-Hartz in 1891 (he also coined the term "chromosome"). The axon‚ a long extension of a nerve cell‚ and take information away from the cell body. Bundles of axons are known as nerves or
