Which part of the neuron can carry information for long distances?

The axon is the part of the neuron that can carry information for long distances.


In a neuron impulses move?

In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.


How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?

A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.

Communication within a neuron is electrical while communication between neurons is chemical.?

Yes, that's correct. Within a neuron, communication occurs through electrical signals that travel along the neuron's axon. When these signals reach the synapse (junction between neurons), they trigger the release of chemical neurotransmitters that carry the signal to the next neuron.
