Part of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses?
Lynneisabelhusain932...
Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.

What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
What part of the neuron conducts the nerve impulse?
Dendrite toward the cell body, axon away from the cell body.
Part of a neuron that transmits nerve impulses toward the central nervous system?
Afferent neurons do this. Efferent do the opposite. It does not matter which system the neurons belong to i.e. Automonic vs. sympathetic. This is a general definition of the direction which nerve impulses are conducting. Afferent nerves are more commonly but less accurately known as sensory nerves.
Part of neuron that sends message through the neuron?
The dendrites are the "input" portion of the neuron, collecting signals from other neurons. However, the axon is the "output" portion of the neuron, sending signals to other neurons.
Do nerves contain axons?
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
The part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its' cell body is called?
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
What part of the neuron conducts the nerve impulse?
Dendrite toward the cell body, axon away from the cell body.
What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
What part of a nerve cell carries impulses toward the cell body?
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
Which part of the neuron acts as a receiver for nerve impulses?
potassuimaxon terminals transmit info from their neuron to another, while dendrites receive info from other neurons.
What part of the nervous system has the responsibility for carrying nerve impulse to and from the body?
The dendrites carry impulses to the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body.
The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the?
dendrite
What part of the motor neuron carries impulses to the muscle?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
What does neuron d0?
A neuron is a single unit of nerve fiber. Most neurons jobs are to allow chemical and electrical impulses to pass from one part of the body to the other. Neurons in the brain function the same way, sending impulses back and forth.
What part of the neuron recives impulses?
Dendrite
The cellular unit of the nervous system is the neuron What is the major function of this cell type?
Transmit messages (nerve impulses) from one part of the body to another
