What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
How are a neuron and an electrical extension cord different?
They both carry electrical impulses from one point to another
What are the Fibers that carry impulses toward the neuron cell body are called?
Dendrites
Three kinds of neurons?
1.sensory neuron- carry impulses from the sensory receptors to the Central Nervous System 2.motor neurons- carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to the muscles and glans 3.association neuron- relay impulses netween sensory and motor neurons -------------------- AD go to bookden.webs.com .. a website for booklovers.. thx
What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
What message does neuron carry?
Electrical impulses.
What are the neuron structures that carry impulses to the cell body called?
Dendrites.
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
What are neurons that carry impulses towards the spinal cord and brain?
An Efferent Neuron.
What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?
nerve impulses

How are a neuron and an electrical extension cord different?
They both carry electrical impulses from one point to another
What are the Fibers that carry impulses toward the neuron cell body are called?
Dendrites
Neurons that carry messages within the nervous system?
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system to communicate messages. They communicate through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, enabling the transmission of information across the brain and body.
What is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
