Which of the following is not part of a neuron?

Neurosoma

Dendrite

Axon

Neuroglia

These are all parts of a neuron.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Neuroglia is not a part of the neuron.

These are non-neuronal cells present in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

Neuroglia or glial cells in the CNS include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and microglia.

Glial cells in the PNS include Schwann cells and satellite cells.

axon, dendrite, and neurosoma (cell body) are parts of a neuron.

Which of the following statements about the movement of cargo along the axon of a neuron is TRUE? Microtubules within the axon support the unidirectional motion of materials from the cell body to the axon terminal, while materials transported back from the axon terminal to the cell body move along intermediate filaments. Movement toward the axon terminal is propelled by ATP hydrolysis while movement towards the cell body is propelled by GTP hydrolysis. Every dynein and kinesin can move their...
