Axon
A pseudo-unipolar neuron referred to as an afferent neuron carries a sensory impulse to the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system.A pseudo-unipolar neuron has one axon which comes from the cell body (soma) and then splits into two branches, the peripheral axonal branch which carries the impulse from the skin, and the central axonal branch which carries the impulse to the spinal cord; it has no dendrites, which distinguishes it from a bipolar neuron.The impulse moves along the peripheral branch and then to the central branch, skipping the soma.
A neurone is a collection of specialized cells, along with supporting cells (oligodendrocytes), that convey or carry an electrical impulse to or away from the central nervous system.
Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
prawn alwayz dissected from dorsal side... n generally its nervous system is studied.. along with a major part hastate plate(digestiv track) n statocyst(antenule) are used for microscopic studies...
# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.

Well they are sent through the nervous system.
electrical wave conducted along the nerve generated by the voltage difference across the cell membrane of the nerve cells.
Unmyelinated tissue is substantially slower in conducting impulses along the axon. With myelinated axons, the action potential (impulse) jumps from node to node greatly increasing the speed of the impulse.
Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.
Neurons are highly irritable or excitable(responsive to stimuli). When a neuron is adequately stimulated, an electrical impulse is generated and conducted along the length of its axon. This response, called the action potential or nerve impulse, is always the same, regardless of the source or type of stimulus, and it underlies virtually all functional activities of the nervous system.The answer is NEURONS.

The somatic nervous system, which is part of the peripheral nervous system, delivers motor and sensory information along the central nervous system- essentially connecting things like the skin nerves to the brain.
NO, that is FALSE. The answer is NEURONS.Neurons are highly irritable or excitable (responsive to stimuli).

A nerve impulse travels toward the actual nucleus itself to pass information.
