The part of the nerve cell that is specially constructed to transmit a message from one cell to another nerve cell is axon.

<h3>What is a nerve cell?</h3>

Nerve cell is a cell of the nervous system which conducts nerve impulses, also referred to as a neuron. It is the basic unit of communication in the nervous system.

The nerve cell is a type of cell that receives and sends messages from the body to the brain and back to the body. The messages are sent by a weak electrical current.

The nerve cell is made up of three main parts as follows:

  • Cell body
  • The dendrites
  • The axon

The cell body, also called the soma of the neuron contains the cell’s nucleus, which controls the activities of the cell.

Dendrites are extensions that branch off the cell body. They receive chemical signals from other neurons, which they convert to electrical impulses and transmit to the cell body.

The axon is a long extension of cells where information leaves the nerve cell and is passed on to target cells.

Therefore, the axon is the part of the nerve cell that transmits message from one nerve cell to another.

Lunna [17]

The correct answer is: C) secreting releasing and inhibiting factors into a tiny portal system.  

Hypothalamus is part of the brain that consists of many nuclei and has the function to connect the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. Hypothalamus is linked with the anterior pituitary via hypothalamic–adenohypophyseal axis. Releasing hormones or factors produced in hypothalamic nuclei are first released from the prolongation of the hypothalamus and then into a tiny portal system called hypophyseal portal system. This system of blood vessels transports hormones to the anterior pituitary where they act on the secretion of adenohypophyseal hormones.

Which of the following correctly lists the levels of compaction in eukaryotes from naked DNA to the most compact?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The level of compaction in Eukaryotes from naked DNA to the most compact is:

d. nucleosome, solenoid, looped chromatin (300-nm fiber), metaphase chromosome

Explanation:

As we know that the

  • Diameter of  DNA is 2 nm.
  • Diameter of nucleosome is 11 nm.
  • Diameter of solenoid is 30 nm.
  • Diameter of looped chromation is 300 nm
  • Diameter of meta-phase chromosome is 1400 nm

All of these facts depict that the the least compact is DNA and most compact is meta-phase chromosome.
