There are several key parts to a neuron: dendrites, which receive input, cell body or soma, where the electrical impulses sum, axon, the structure along which the action potential is propagated, and the terminal buttons which release neurotransmitters into the synapse between two neurons.

Is a neurone an organ or tissue?
neurone is a tissue
What do you call the neurone that connects the sensory and motor neurone together?
Interneurone or relay neurone
What is the part of nerve cell transmit messagefrom the brain to the different part of the body?
Motor neurone send message from the brain to the affector
How many major classes of neurons are there?
Sensury neurone, Motor Neurone
What does a Neurone cell do?
A neurone is a nerve cell, they allow you to feel pain.
What is the main function of a connecting neuron?
To take the signal from the sensory neurons to the motor neurons or other integrative neurons
What is a relay nerve cells?
Interneuron (relay neurone) Relays messages from sensory neurone to motor neurone. which make up the brain and spinal cord
Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?
No, not directly. Some sensory neurons can detect the effect of a motor neuron firing.
What is acetylcholen?
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an exitatory neurotransmitter. This means it is released from the synapse of the neurone and promotes the continuation of the AP in the next neurone instead of inhibiting it. ACh is part of the peripheral nervous system and is not very prominent in the central nervous system.
What is the function of the cell bodies of the neurone?
The main part of the neuron, containing the nucleus and other organelles and serving as the site of the cell's metabolic reactions; processes input from the dendrites and if input is large enough relays to the axon, where an impulse is initiated.
What is the name of the neurone that carries impulses to the central nervous system?
A sensory neurone.
What is the job for the nucleus in a nerve cell?
It depends what part of the cell body you are talking about. The cell body of the nerve cell is the nerve cell. There is no difference between the two. Also, it depends what nerve cell you are talking about, it could be either a relay neurone, a motor neurone or a sensory neurone. The cell body of each is completely different.
