Does a nerve cell carry messages in the body?

yes, that is their main function.


Which type of nerve cell carries messages toward the brain?

Sensory neurons are the type of nerve cells that carry messages from sensory receptors towards the brain to process and interpret information.


What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?

Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.


How does a nerve cell function in a human?

The function of a nerve cell is to carry messages around someones body. To adapt to their job, they're very long and are branched at each end. Nerve cells also receive, carry and pass electrical impulses through someones body.


What cell carry messages to and from the different parts the body?

Neuron carries messages from different parts of the body.


What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?

Dendrites are the structures that receive messages and carry them toward a neuron's cell body. They serve as the main receiving region of a neuron, collecting signals from other neurons and transmitting them to the cell body for further processing.


How do nerve cells relay messages?

Nerve cells relay messages through electrical signals called action potentials. These signals travel along the length of the nerve cell and are transmitted to other nerve cells or muscles at specialized junctions called synapses. At the synapse, chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released to carry the signal to the next cell.


Does the nerve cell send messages to the brain?

yes, it does.


Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?

No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.


What can the nerve cell carry?

blood


What cell carries electrical messages?

Neurons are the cells that carry electrical messages in the nervous system. They have specialized structures called axons that allow them to transmit electrical signals over long distances. Neurons communicate with each other through junctions called synapses.


How is it that the shape can adapted to carry messages around the body?

Nerve cells have many adaptations to their function. The basic function of a nerve cell is to deliver a message to the next nerve cell in order to send information across the body. It has long axon that deliver an action potentially a long way.
