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.
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
The olfactory nerve carries impulses from odor-detecting cells to the brain.
