Neuron, axon and dendrites

X is emanating from the cell body (P) of a Purkinje cell (neuron). What is X?

• Axon

• Dendrite

• Granule cells

• Soma

Choose two characteristics of dendrite

• Neuron that passes nerve impulse away from the cell body

• Neuron that passes nerve towards the cell body

• Can have myelin

• No myelin insulation

What is not the function of dendrite?

• Integrate incoming signals, summing up excitatory and inhibitory inputs to determine whether the neurons will generate an action potential.

• Responsible for transmitting signals over long distances.

• Receive chemical signals, in the form of neurotransmitters, from other neurone at synapses.

• Amplify or filter incoming signals based on their strength and type.

Which one is the structure of the dendrite?

• Short, finger-like, branching fibers extending from the cell body of the nerve cell

• Long, branching fibre from the axon

• Long, thin structure in which action potentials are generated

• Short, finger like, branching fibres extending from the cell body of the nerve cell covered by myelin sheath

Which of the following statements is correct about the characteristics of neuron?

• Cuboidal shape

• Have one dendrite, many axons

• Large cell

• 3-4µ to 100µ in diameter

What is the structure shown in the arrow ?

• Neuron

• Nucleus

• Dendrite

Diagram 2 shows a type of axon. It consist of 1 axon and many dendrites.

• True

• False

Which connective tissue surround the individual axon?

• endoneurium

• perineurium

• epineurium

• fascicle
