  • Which part of a neuron contains the nucleus?
    The cell body of a neuron contains the nucleus.
  • What does the cell body of a neuron contain?
    The cell body of a neuron contains the nucleus and is responsible for integrating signals received from dendrites.
  • What is the specialized cell type that generates nervous impulses?
    Neurons are the specialized cell type that generate nervous impulses.
  • Which nerve cell connects sensory and motor neurons?
    Interneurons are the nerve cells that connect sensory and motor neurons.
  • Where is the nucleus of a neuron found?
    The nucleus of a neuron is found in the cell body.
  • What is the most abundant glial cell in the central nervous system (CNS)?
    Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the CNS.
  • Which part of the neuron contains the nucleus?
    The cell body of the neuron contains the nucleus.
  • What is the function of the cell body in a neuron?
    The cell body integrates incoming signals from dendrites and contains the nucleus, which directs cellular activities.
  • What does the cell body of a neuron do?
    The cell body processes and integrates signals received from dendrites and contains the nucleus for cellular maintenance.
  • What is the function of a nerve cell?
    A nerve cell, or neuron, receives, integrates, and transmits electrical signals throughout the nervous system.
  • What does the cell body do in a neuron?
    The cell body integrates signals from dendrites and contains the nucleus, supporting the neuron's metabolic and genetic functions.
  • Which cell is adapted for transmitting messages?
    Neurons are adapted for transmitting messages through electrical impulses called action potentials.
  • What is the main structural feature of a neuron that contains the nucleus?
    The cell body is the main structural feature of a neuron that contains the nucleus.
