Neuron Structure Quiz Topic 12

What is the function of the dendrites in a neuron?

• Receive and transmit information about an animal's environment or its internal physiological state.

• Process information received by sensory neurons and transmit it to different body regions to produce a suitable response.

• Signal a muscle or gland to cause a response in the body.

• Sum stimuli at the axon hillock and trigger an action potential.

Where are action potentials conducted to in a neuron?

• Nucleus

• Axon terminal

• Cell body

• Dendrites

What is the function of motor neurons in the nervous system?

• Integrate and process information.

• Signals a muscle or gland to cause a response in the body.

• Process information received by sensory neurons and transmit it to different body regions to produce a suitable response.

• Receive and transmit information about an animal's environment or its internal physiological state.

What is the function of ganglia in the nervous system?

• Localized collections of nerve cell bodies that integrate and process information.

• Receive and send signals and are the functional unit of the nervous system.

• Integrate and process information.

• Process complex sensory stimuli from the environment or from anywhere in the body.

What is the role of interneurons in the nervous system?

• Receive and transmit information about an animal's environment or its internal physiological state.

• Integrate and process information.

• Process information received by sensory neurons and transmit it to different body regions to produce a suitable response.

• Signals a muscle or gland to cause a response in the body.

Where are synaptic stimuli summed in a neuron?

• Nucleus

• Dendrites

• Cell body

• Axon terminal

What is the function of the axon in a neuron?

• Conduct action potentials to the axon terminal.

• Sum stimuli at the axon hillock and trigger an action potential.

• Process information received by sensory neurons and transmit it to different body regions to produce a suitable response.

• Receive and transmit information about an animal's environment or its internal physiological state.

What is the function of the nucleus in a neuron?

• Receive and transmit information about an animal's environment or its internal physiological state.

• Process information received by sensory neurons and transmit it to different body regions to produce a suitable response.

• Sum stimuli at the axon hillock and trigger an action potential.

• Contain the genetic material of the cell.
