Neuron Organelles
Special organelles in a neuron
Axon, synapses, dendrites, axon hillock, axon terminals, ect.,
The common organelles in a neuron
the nucleus, golgi, cytoplasm, lysosome, ribosome, centrioles, smooth er, rough er, ect.
Amount of neurons in the human body
86 billion
One process extension from the cell body
Unipolar Neuron
The axon function in a neuron
Carry communication impulses/transport information between the brain and rest of body
Controls everything in a cell
the Nucleus
Neuron function
sending/receiving signals and information between body & brain
Unipolar Neuron appearing like Bipolar
Pseudopolar neuron
The dendrite function
Receive the data signals from other neurons
Where proteins are first created
Ribosomes
Where all the organelles are found
cell body/soma
Two process extensions coming from cell body
bipolar neuron
Where neurons connect and communicate with each other
Synapses
Where the cells waste is processed/digested
Lysosomes
The neuron is the smallest cell in the body. True or False
False
Multiple extensions from cell body (soma)
multipolar neuron
The end of an axon that transmits messages to other cells
Axon terminals
A cell has a rough ____ and a smooth ____
ER/endoplasm reticulum
The highest speed a neuron sends it's message
What the neuron structure is most commonly compared too
a tree and its branches/roots
