Afferent (sensory) division of the nerve cell receives input messages. The ends are called dendrites. A typical neuron in the central nervous system (CNS) has many thousand dendrites. It is the dendrites that receive the nervous signals from other neurons via connections called synapses.

What part of the neuron carry the message from the brain to muscles of your hands and backbone?
Messages from the neuron always travel from the cell body down the axon.
Which part of a neuron is attached to the soma and carries messages out to other cells?
Apex question is which is a part of a neuron that sends out messages answer axon
What part of the body transmits messages?
Central Nervous system.
What is a part of a neuron that receives messages?
Usually the dendrites receive messages (this end of the neuron is thus referred to as the receiving end)
What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Incoming messages are first detected by what part of a neuron?
dendrite
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.
What is the longest part of a neuron carrying messages to a leg muscle?
An axon.
What part of the motor neuron carries impulses to the muscle?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
What are characteristic of a neuron?
Neurons play an important part in relaying messages throughout the body. The characteristics are dependent on the role of the neuron and its location.
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 part of the neuron that carries messages?
Dendrites carry messages to a cell body of a neuron.
