What transmits electrical impulses away from the body?
axon takes away dendrites take to another cell body
How does a cell phone transmit sound faster than 741 MPH and how does the signal convert to sound?
A cell 'phone does not transmit sound. It transmits electromagnetic radiation. Sound is converted to and from an electromagnetic signal by the microphone and speaker.
What statement best describes a function of a nerve cell?
A nerve cell (neuron) transmits information from a part of the body to the brain
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by?
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by neurons. A neuron is a cell that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
The part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its' cell body is called?
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
What portion of a nerve cell transmits information away from cell body?
axon takes away dendrites take to another cell body
What is the axon responsible for?
It generates and transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body.
What transmits electrical impulses away from the body?
axon takes away dendrites take to another cell body
What are the parts and function of a dendrites?
Transmits Information to the cell body
What cell transmits electrical messages from one area of the body to another?
neurons

A cell 'phone does not transmit sound. It transmits electromagnetic radiation. Sound is converted to and from an electromagnetic signal by the microphone and speaker.
What statement best describes a function of a nerve cell?
A nerve cell (neuron) transmits information from a part of the body to the brain
What is the function of the axon in a nerve cell?
The axon is the elongated fiber that extends from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal. The larger the axon, the faster it transmits information. Some axons are covered with a fatty substance called myelin that acts as an insulator. These myelinated axons transmit information much faster than other neurons.
How is a neuron different from an ordinary body cell?
A neuron is different from an ordinary body cell because it transmits messages throughout the brain. It also sends electrical messages.
What are the basic parts of neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the axon, the dendrites, and the soma (cell body). The axon carries information away from the soma and transmits it to other neurons. The dendrites receive information from other neurons. The soma contains the nucleus of the cell and protein synthesis occurs here.
Which neuron will get a nerve impulse to an effector cell the fastest?
it transmits a signal through the the central nervous system ( CNS ) until it reaches a salivary gland (effector) :)
Does a dendrite carry impulses away?
They carry impulses to the cell body. Axons carry impulses away from the cell body.
