What is an axon and what is its job?
An axon is the extension of a neuron and it sends nerve impulses away from the cell. In simpler words it is the "tail" of a nerve cell which sends messages to other cells.
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
Processes that carry impulses to another neuron?
The functional and structural unit of the nervous system for fast communication are called neurons. A neuron is made of cell body with extensions which are the axons and dendrites that carry impulses.
What type of neuron carries information to the CNS?
Afferent neurons carry information to the CNS, and efferent neuron carries it away.
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
What carries messages away from neuron?
The axons.
Carries messages away from the cell body of a neuron?
axon
Move messages away from neuron cell body?
Axon.
What carries messages from the cell body of a neuron?
Remember: Axons away, so dendrites carry messages from the cell, and axons carry them away.
A single long strand coming out of a neuron that carry messages away from the cell body?
axon
What is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What portion a neuron conducts nerve impulses away from the neuron?
axons
Neurons that conduct impulses away from the CNS to muscle and glands?
Efferent neuron
What is the function of the axon endings?
it helps to speed up the process of transmitting messages between neurons.
What is an extension of the neuron cell body that sends information away from the neuron?
the axon
