Which way does a dendrite conduct nerve impulses to the cell body?
the dendrites pick up msgs from other neurons lying nearby.they pass the msg to the cellbody, and then along the axon, the axon might then pass it on to another neurones. from the receptorto the sensory neuron to the relay neurons to the motor neuron to the muscle
3 parts of neuron?
I'd say the three major components are the dendrites (recieves signal from other neurons), soma (holds nucleus), and axon (sends signal)
The tree like structures on a neuron are called?
the neuron is composed of 4 parts the cell body which contains the nucleus the axon which carry the information and the terminal button which distribute the neurons the dendrites which are the branches that come out.... the dendrites receive the signal.
What are the two structures that make up the metathalamus?
lateral geniculate body : relay nucleus for visual impulsesmedial geniculate body : relay nucleus for auditory impulses
What is the 3 main parts of nerve cells?
The three basic parts of a nerve cell are the dendrites, cell body, and axon. The dendrites branch to reach other cells. The cell body contains the nucleus which controls the cell. The axon is long and provides "reach" for the cell.

What is the structure of a neuron and what kinds of neurons are found in the body?
A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called ­dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only one axon. An axon, however, can have more than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell.Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. Nerve fibers are often arranged in parallel bundles covered with connective tissue, something like a package of uncooked spaghetti wrapped in cellophane. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.
In addition to the nucleus cytoplasm and cell membrane a single neuron possesses what?
Several dendrites and one axon
What are the parts of a nerves?
the parts of the nerve cell are cell body,dendrites,and axon, axon teminals, nucleus,
What are the two parts the neuron is split up into?
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
Which tissue has more than one nucleus and is voluntary impulses?
Skeletal Muscle

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.

What is a cell body defined as?
A cell body is defined as a part of a nerve cell which contains the nucleus and the cytoplasm surrounding it, but it lacks all the axons and dendrites.
