Dendrites are the part of a neuron which receives chemical messages (neurotransmitters) through synapses.Mostly the dendrites receive messages from other neurons, but the cell bodies of neurons also receive direct synaptic inputs from other cells.

What carries information throughout the body in form of electrochemical signals called impulses?
Neurons
What carries mssages from the central nervous system to other parts of the body?
peripheral nervous system
What is a function of dendrites?
They are the main receptive of input regions. They provide an enormous surface area for receiving signals from other neurons. in the brain it collects information. Dendrites give stability to microstructures.
What relays information for muscles?
Sensory neurons carry signals from the receptors in our body (e.g. thermal, pressure etc.) to the relay neurons, which are found in our spinal cord. Relay neurons then send signals along the spinal cord to the brain. The brain then processes the information and sends a signal back down the spinal cord, through the relay neurons. Relay neurons then sends signals to motor neurons, which will then affect the muscles' movements.Read more: What_does_neuron_cells_do
The part of the neuron that are resposible for receiving information signals?
Dendrites!
Is the The peripheral nervous system responsible for both sending and receiving signals to and from the brain?
yes
What carries information throughout the body in the form electrochemical signals called impulses?
Neurons
What does each do?
Sensory neurons carry signals from the receptors in our body (e.g. thermal, pressure etc.) to the relay neurons, which are found in our spinal cord. Relay neurons then send signals along the spinal cord to the brain. The brain then processes the information and sends a signal back down the spinal cord, through the relay neurons. Relay neurons then sends signals to motor neurons, which will then affect the muscles' movements.Read more: What_does_neuron_cells_do
Neurons transmit signals acrossed a?
Neurons transmit signals across a synapse
What does each neuron do?
Sensory neurons carry signals from the receptors in our body (e.g. thermal, pressure etc.) to the relay neurons, which are found in our spinal cord. Relay neurons then send signals along the spinal cord to the brain. The brain then processes the information and sends a signal back down the spinal cord, through the relay neurons. Relay neurons then sends signals to motor neurons, which will then affect the muscles' movements.Read more: What_does_neuron_cells_do
What is the functions of the brain?
Brain is a responsible processing,sending ,receiving signals,sending memorazing and more.
What is the difference between motor and sensory neurons?
The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.
