5 Questions
What are the typical cellular organelles found in the cytoplasm of a neuron's cell body?
The typical cellular organelles found in the cytoplasm of a neuron's cell body include lysosomes, mitochondria, and a Golgi complex.
What is the function of the RNA rich Nissl substance found in the cytoplasm of a neuron's cell body?
The RNA rich Nissl substance is involved in high levels of protein synthesis in neurons, which is necessary for maintenance, repair, production of neurotransmitters, and enzymes.
What is the composition of the neurofibrils found in the cytoskeleton of a neuron's cell body?
The neurofibrils are composed of bundles of intermediate filaments that provide the cell shape and support.
What is the presence of abundant granular endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm of a neuron's cell body an indication of?
The presence of abundant granular endoplasmic reticulum is an indication of the high level of protein synthesis in neurons.
What is the purpose of microtubules in the cytoskeleton of a neuron's cell body?
Microtubules are part of the cytoskeleton and play a role in providing structural support for the cell.
