The branching fiber that is the first part of the neuron to receive a nervous system impulse is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron. They play a crucial role in receiving and integrating incoming information in the nervous system.

Space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another?
The synaptic gap, also called the synapse.
The branching roots in a monocot are called?
Hipnees
Where is the neuron found?
Neurons are found in, and are the basis of, the nervous system.Most multicellular animals have a nervous system, which functions to send signals from one cell to others, and/or from one part of the body to another part. The cells which convey these signals are called neurons.Neurons are specialized cells which are excitable, in that they can fire an electrochemical impulsealong their length when sufficiently stimulated, and they can pass that impulse to other neurons or to muscles through very small gaps between them called synapses. Neurons can also receive signals from sensory structures like eyes or ears, and process those signals in assemblages of neurons, brains.
Evolutionary relationships are displayed in a branching diagram called a?
cladogram.
What does the tissues responsible for sensing stimuli?
The body tissue that has fibers that react to stimuli is called the "nervous tissue". The nervous tissue is composed of neurons or nerve cells that receive and transmit impulses and the "neuroglia" that help to transmit nerve impulses and also provide nutrition for the nerve cells.
What is a functional property of nervous tissue called?
A functional property of nervous tissue called irritability is the ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it into a nerve impulse.
Branching fibers extending out from the cell body to receive information from other neutrons are called?
Dendrites
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
Part of the nerve cell that first receives the nervous impulse is the?
The dendrite of a neuron usually receives a chemical signal from another neuron, although a cell body (soma), or sometimes even an axon, of another neuron can receive the signal.Synapses which occur between an axon and a dendrite are called axodendritic synapses, while synapses between an axon and a cell body are called axosomatic synapses, and synapses between an axon and an axon are called axoaxonic synapses.
What is a nerve message called?
Well they are sent through the nervous system.
What substance excites the nervous system?
The nervous system responds to stimuli, that is referred to as excitability. The chemicals that are involved in carrying the impulse from being excited are called neurotransmitters.
Space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another?
The synaptic gap, also called the synapse.
What are the branching tubes called?
Bronchi
What cells show irritability and conductivity?
Neurons are highly irritable or excitable(responsive to stimuli). When a neuron is adequately stimulated, an electrical impulse is generated and conducted along the length of its axon. This response, called the action potential or nerve impulse, is always the same, regardless of the source or type of stimulus, and it underlies virtually all functional activities of the nervous system.The answer is NEURONS.
What is meant by impulse?
impulse is also called as sudden force or energy and called sudden shock impulse = force * displacement
The branching roots in a monocot are called?
Hipnees
What are the two branching tubes called?
Bronchi
