The nerve cells hat carry messages through your body are neurones. They then travel up the spinal column until they reach your brain.

This happens all the time, and this is why it is so bad if your back breaks.

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 is the function of the nerve cells?

The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.


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.


Tissue that carries messages throughout our bodies?

The nervous tissue carries messages throughout our bodies. It consists of nerve cells called neurons that transmit electrical signals and support cells called glial cells that provide structural support and nutrition. Messages are passed between neurons through connections called synapses.


These cells are able to pass messages back and forth?

Neurons are the cells responsible for sending and receiving messages in the nervous system. They can pass messages back and forth by transmitting electrical signals along their length and releasing chemical messengers called neurotransmitters at the synapses to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
