question 309

True/False

Stellate neurons process sensory input into the cerebral cortex, while pyramidal neurons in the cortex have long axons that extend to motor neurons in spinal cord.

Definitions:

Trans Membrane

Pertaining to or spanning across a cellular membrane, often referring to proteins that extend through the bilayer and interact with both the inside and outside of a cell.

Fluid Mosaic Model

The currently accepted model of the plasma membrane and other cell membranes, in which protein molecules “float” in a fluid phospholipid bilayer.

Lipid Bilayer

The lipid bilayer is a fundamental structure forming cell membranes, composed of two layers of phospholipids, which serves as a barrier to protect cellular contents.

Integral Proteins

Integral proteins are embedded within the cell membrane and are involved in various functions, including signaling, transport, and structural support.
