What is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What nerve carries messages away from the eye to the brain?
the Optic Nerve
Is a nerve cell a specialised cell?
It is specialised by being a long thin cell that is insulated to carry electrical messages around the body. x When you hurt yourself e.g. burn yourself your immediate reaction is to get away from the heat, this is because we can sence pain due to our nerve cells which then carry an electrical message to your brain which then says to get away from the source of pain.
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is the extension of a neuron and it sends nerve impulses away from the cell. In simpler words it is the "tail" of a nerve cell which sends messages to other cells.
What is the main function if the nerve cells?
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.
What carries messages from the cell body of a neuron?
Remember: Axons away, so dendrites carry messages from the cell, and axons carry them away.
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
The axon.
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.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What do capillaries carry to your body's cells and away from the cells?
blood
What should be included at the end of an army safety briefing?
A brief statement of the 3 or 4 carry away messages
Which gas does blood carry to the cells of the body What else does it carry to the cells?
It carries oxygen and carbon dioxide away from the cells of the body.* * * * *Not so.In general, it carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide away from the cells.
