A reflex. Reflexes are processed by the spinal cord in order to provide a quicker reaction than would be achieved if the signal travelled all the way to the brain and back.
Motor neurons
the axon carries impulses toward the main cell body
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
Part of nerve cells. The axon carries the impulse toward the body of other nerve cells. Part of neurons.
blood
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
Dendrites.
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
dendrite
Eletrical impulses throughout the nervous system
The nerves that carry impulses toward the brain are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry impulses away. In way to remember this is afferent equals away.
efferent
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.
