It depends on what you mean by 'main'.
The AXON is the part which CONVEYS the neural impulse, which could be thought of as the main FUNCTION of the neuron.
But the DENDRITES are the parts which assess whether the neuron has been stimulated enough to fire the axon, which is another fundamental function of some neurons.
And the BODY (soma) of the neuron is very much a 'main' part of the neuron, because without it the neuron would die.

What are the main part of the neuron?
Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
What are the three main part of a neuron?
Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
What is the function of the cell body?
The cell body is the main part of the neuron. It maintains the health of the neuron.
Where neuron cell bodies located?
The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron. The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
The part of the neuron that normally receives stimuli is called?
The Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the neuron's soma and dendrites. Synapse's happens when contact is made by one neuron's axon and is received by another neuron's dendrite and soma. The synaptic signaling procedure is vital to positive neuron function.
What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?
synaptic terminal
What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Which part of the Schwann cell forms a neuron husk?
Motor Neuron
The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the?
dendrite
What part of the neuron would be responsible for notifing the brain that you hurt yourself?
Sensory nerve fibers carry message to brain. A part of neuron or or single neuron does not carry this message to the brain.
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.
The part of the neuron that facilitates synaptic transmission of a signal to another neuron is?
Soma
