The smaller, receiving, head end of a neuron is called the dendrite. This transmogrifies first into the nucleus containing cell body and then into the multi-branched transmission arms of the axon. Axons from the spine to the foot are up to a meter in length.
When studying the nervous system it is important to know what each part does. The Axons carry signals and transmits them to other neurons.

axon
Axon.
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by neurons. A neuron is a cell that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
dendrites
a Neuron
To take the signal from the sensory neurons to the motor neurons or other integrative neurons
Axon.
Functionally, neurons or nerve cells are classified into three types,1. Sensory or afferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals towards brain.2. Motor or efferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals away from brain.3. Inter-neuron which is present in gray matter of spinal cord and convert sensory signals into appropriate motor signals during spinal reflex.

Apex question is which is a part of a neuron that sends out messages answer axon
A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.
synapse
The neuron that transmits a signal from the nervous system to an effector is a motor neuron.
Muscle fibers
The axon
sensory neurons
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by neurons. A neuron is a cell that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron...as feedback system is to control system. The motor neurons send signals from the brain to control the body. The sensory neurons send signals from the body back to the brain.
