Overview of neuron structure (types of neurons) - Khan Academy
This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. …
Overview of neuron structure and function - Khan Academy
Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to …
Anatomy of a neuron (video) | Human biology | Khan Academy
Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.
Signal propagation: The movement of signals between neurons
Your brain is a hotbed of electrochemical activity. About 100 billion neurons are each firing off 5-50 messages (action potentials) per second. This activity allows you to process your …
Anatomie eines Neurons (Video) | Khan Akademy
Neuronen (oder Nervenzellen) sind spezialisierte Zellen, die elektrische Signale im Körper übertragen und empfangen. Neurone bestehen aus drei Hauptbestandteilen: Dendriten, einen …
Neurons (practice) | Nervous system | Khan Academy
Chemicals called neurotransmitters transfer information between two neurons separated by a gap. These chemicals pass the information from axon terminal of the first neuron to the dendritic tip …
Introduction to neural cell types (video) | Khan Academy
Uncover the roles and functions of neurons and glia, and how they work together to regulate our body's functions. Discover the structure of the nervous system, divided into the central and …
Neuroplasticity (video) | Khan Academy
This process involves changes in synapses and neurons, leading to potentiation or depression of information flow. It's most active during development, but continues throughout life, with …
Types of neurotransmitter receptors (video) | Khan Academy
Explore the intricate world of neurotransmitter receptors in neurons. Learn how they can be excitatory or inhibitory, and how neurotransmitters can bind to multiple types of receptors.
