What else can I help you with?
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.
What are mircroscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
axon
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What direction does nerve impulse travel?
Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.
Which type of nerve cells only carry impulses toward the body of the cell?
Sensory neurons are the type of nerve cells that carry impulses only towards the body of the cell. They transmit sensory information from receptors in the body to the central nervous system for processing.
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 nerve cell carries signals toward the part of the cell that houses the nucleus?
The dendrites of the nerve cell carry signals toward the cell body where the nucleus is located. Dendrites receive signals from other nerve cells or sensory receptors and transmit these signals to the cell body for processing.
What carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?
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.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
The microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell is called an axon. Axons are long, slender projections of a nerve cell that transmit electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. These signals, known as action potentials, travel down the axon through a process called depolarization and repolarization.
What receives neuron messages and sends them to the cell body?
The dendrite receives a stimulus and conducts the nerve impulse toward the cell body.
What part of the neuron conducts the nerve impulse?
Dendrite toward the cell body, axon away from the cell body.
