There are two possible answers - axons or dendrites. Axons carry action potentials away from the neuron, while dendrites receive action potentials.

What are threadlike structure found in fungi that grow into the food source?
The hyphea.
What do branching cells do?
The shape of nerve cells makes them great for communicating signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Their great lenght helps these signals reach the brain quickly. A nerve cell's branching structure can connect several parts of the body at once
Threadlike structures in the nucleus contain DNA?
Chromatin or chromatin threads are the threadlike structures that are found in the nucleus. They contain DNA which is a genetic material.
Where does sensory neurons and motor neurons found in?
The peripheral nervous system (PNS), basically anywhere outside the spinal cord and brain. Motor Neurons are found in the central nervous system. In the Ventrall horn of the spinal cord.
Are dendrites and axons both armlike processes that extend from cell bodies?
Yes, it is true. Dendrites: Arm-like processes that extend from the cell body of all neurons which receive signals. They are short, tapering, and have branching extensions and are usually found close to the cell body. Dendrites are unmyelinated (slow conductors). Axons: Are single arm-like process that extends from the cell body of all neurons which generate and transmit nerve impulses. They can be long (up to ~ 1 meter) or short with diffuse branching at the end. Axons are myelinated (fast conductors).
What are threadlike structure found in fungi that grow into the food source?
The hyphea.
Are threadlike structure made up of proteins and DNA?
Chromosomes are the threadlike structures that are made up of proteins and DNA. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of the cell.
What is Johannes Purkinje famours for?
He is best known for his 1837 discovery of Purkinje cells, large neurons with many branching dendrites found in the cerebellum.
What is the defintion of chromosome?
A chromosome is a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells. Genetic information in the form of genes are carried by chromosomes.
What do branching cells do?
The shape of nerve cells makes them great for communicating signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Their great lenght helps these signals reach the brain quickly. A nerve cell's branching structure can connect several parts of the body at once
State the structure of neurons which reduces leakage of impulses?
Myelin sheath, which is only found on long axons (white matter), not on short cortical neurons (grey matter).
Threadlike fibers found in the cell membrane?
The microfilaments and microtubules are threadlike fibers found in the cell membrane. They are involved in cellular movement and providing structural support to the cell.
What are threadlike structures made up of proteins and DNA?
Chromosomes are the threadlike structures that are made up of proteins and DNA. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of the cell.
What is microscopic threadlike structures found in skeletal muscle fibers?
myofilaments
Threadlike structures in the nucleus contain DNA?
Chromatin or chromatin threads are the threadlike structures that are found in the nucleus. They contain DNA which is a genetic material.
What is the difference between filament and fiber?
FIBRE - FIBRE IS A LONG NARROW , THIN TUBE LIKE STRUCTURE FOUND IN PLANTS AND ON THE ANIMALSA slender threadlike object or fiber, esp. one found in animal or plant structures.is called filament.
Where are Multipolar neurons found?
Unipolar neurons are found in ganglion outside the CNS.
