What else can I help you with?
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
What nerve carries messages away from the eye to the brain?
the Optic Nerve
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 is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
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 are the two types of structures carry out transmission functions?
The two types of structures that carry out transmission functions are nerve fibers, which transmit electrical impulses in the nervous system, and axons, which are extensions of nerve cells that conduct electrical signals away from the cell body.
Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.
What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other cells. Its main job is to transmit these signals to other neurons, muscle cells, or glands in the body.
What do capillaries carry to your body's cells and away from the cells?
blood
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.
