Cell body of neuron Soma 1/7 Synonyms: Perikaryon, Corpus neuri The chief cells of the brain and spinal cord are the neurons, which receive and transmit neural impulses. Each neuron has a body which is its micro-command center, and it has a gray color when observed microscopically. The...
What is the function of the axon and dendrite? The dendrite receives input messages from a neuron and other cells, whereas an axon relays output messages away from the neuron towards other cells. What are axons in the nervous system? Axons are part of a neuron that relay action potentials ...

The primary function of a neuron is to send and receive signals. Messages from the brain travel through the neurons that make up our nerves and signal... Learn more about this topic: Neuron Definition, Parts & Function from Chapter 2/ Lesson 2 ...
Supraspinal relay of proprioceptive information along the dorsal column to the medulla, where the information ascends along thespinocerebellar tractsto thecerebellumand pre-/primary motor cortex, for complete integration ofsensorimotor functions 5.
Ganglia can be thought of as synaptic relay stations between neurons. The information enters the ganglia, excites the neuron in the ganglia and then exits. The ganglia can be broadly categorized into two groups, that is, sensory ganglia (relating to the somatic nervous system (SNS)), and auto...
Skeletal tissue is highly innervated. Although different types of nerves have been recently identified in the bone, the crosstalk between bone and nerves remains unclear. In this review, we outline the role of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in bone
Quantum computers provide a valuable resource to solve computational problems. The maximization of the objective function of a computational problem is a crucial problem in gate-model quantum computers. The objective function estimation is a high-cost pr

The basic structure of an interneuron is the same as an ordinary neuron, including several widely branching dendrites, a cell body, and an axon. The function of interneurons is to relay information to and from the brain, coordinate reflexes, modulate other neurons via neurotransmitter release, enh...
