nerve cells are important because they transmit everthing to our brain. they use elelctric pulses a bit like Morse Code. without them we would not smell, hear,see,feel and move because the sending is a 2 way process. eg. your brain sends a message through the nerve's into the leg nerve and tells it to move and it does. the second is your organs to your brain. eg. nose send a signal to brain and message of the smell of your dinner and brain reacts and you start eating. in layment terms you could not do anything in the world except think to yourself.

Do fish heads survive decapitation or is it just nerve impulses?
No, that is just nerve impulses
The most rapid nerve impulses are impulses that are carried?
no
What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Neurons transmit nerve impulses/ electric impulses throughout the body.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What information do nerve impulses require?
Nerve impulses do not carry information, they only carry impulses. It is the brain and spinal cord that interpret that impulse into information.
Carries nerve impulses from photoreceptors?
