    gives a multipolar neuron its name? A multipolar neuron contains several short and highly branched processes known as dendrites and that’s what gives it the name. C. What are the functions of the dendrites and axons? The dendrites receive signals from other neurons cells‚ and axons transmit these signals within our bodies.

    it consists of the axon hillock. The signals transmitted from the first zone is integrated in this region. If the signal is strong enough‚ an action potential would be initiated. Third zone is specialized for signal conduction‚ it consists of the axon. The axon carries the information‚ usually from action potentials‚ from the cell body to the axon terminal. The fourth zone of a neuron is for signal transmission to target cells‚ it consists of the axon terminals. These axon terminals form the synapse

    Axon which propagates or takes the nerve impulses toward another neuron‚ a gland cell or muscle fibers. The dendrites which are the main input region. Integration occurs in the cell body‚ which includes cellular organelles. Synapses are places for functional contact between 2 excitable cells. Axon terminals contain synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitter molecules. Fast and slow axonal transport are systems for conveying materials to and from the cell body and axon terminals.

    Site Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system‚ a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS.

    called the axon. Although in some neurons‚ it is hard to distinguish from the dendrites‚ in others it is easily distinguished by its length. The purpose of the axon is to transmit an electro-chemical signal to other neurons‚ sometimes over a considerable distance. Longer axons are usually covered with a myelin sheath‚ a series of fatty cells which have wrapped around an axon many times. They serve a similar function as the insulation around electrical wire. At the very end of the axon is the axon
