    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

    efficiently because -> • structure –long thin fibers that extend outer ward of cell body; intermixing allows neurons to be close to many other neurons. 2 types of fibers – Axons: fibers that carry signals away from the cell body‚ out to where communicate occur with other neurons. Dendrites: fibers that receive signals from the axons of other neurons and carry them down the cell body. Synapse: gap between neurons where they communicate • Nerve cell membrane is semipermeable (allows some things to

    one hundred and fifty and two hundred (milligram) percent. In this experiment we reached four hundred and fifty percent and a decrease in axon numbers of the optic nerve. The results do not match previous studies because of the different amount of alcohols. It is discovered that in normal development forty percent of retinal ganglion cells are lost. Axons lost between nine and fifteen weeks were due to atrophy not hypoplasia. Atrophy is when the cells are continuously lost by natural cause and

The muscle spindle consists of several types of speacialized skeletal muscle fibers that are contained within a fibrous capsule. In the middle region of this fibrous capsule group 1a axons are wrapped around the muscle fibre on the spindle.
