The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
Nerve cells or neurons are well suited to their job of transmitting impulses around the body: * Myelin sheath insulates and protects the axons, * Many mitaochondria to produce enough energy to allow the cells to transmit the signal, * Cytoplasmic extensions enable rapid distribution of impulses.
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals and transmit them to the cell body, where the information is integrated before being passed on to other neurons. They play a critical role in the communication between neurons within the nervous system.

Any of the various branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that conducts impulses from adjacent cells inward toward the cell body.
A dendrite is a short branch-like extension of a nerve cell that receives signals from other neurons. It plays a key role in transmitting electrical impulses and information throughout the nervous system.
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
