Electrotonic potential carries neural signals down from their input at dendrites, and across the cell body to the axon hillock, where an action potential may be caused to fire in the initial segment of the axon of the neuron(if the sum of the voltages at the axon hillock is sufficient).

What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?

The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
