What carries impulses toward the cell body?

Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.


What is the electric signal that is transmitted throughout the body called?

Nerve impulses.


Which of these parts receive nerve impulses?

dendrites receive electrical and chemical signals from axon terminals.


How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?

The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.


Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?

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


What stores energy and nutrients to convey nerve impulses throughout the body?

The nervous system stores energy and nutrients in the form of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that help transmit nerve impulses throughout the body. These neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the ends of nerve cells, ready to be released when a nerve impulse needs to be transmitted.


What part of a neuron transmits information to other neurons?

Dendrites receive information from other neurons. A dendrite is a short branched extension of a nerve cell where impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.


What carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?

Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.


Is the endocrine system controls the body through nerve impulses?

The nervous system controls the body through nerve impulses. The endocrine system controls the body through hormones.


What are the root like structures of a nerve that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body?

The dendrites are the root-like structures of a nerve that receive electrical impulses The dendrites then conduct the impulse to the cell body. Dendrites are root-like structures of a nerve cell that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body.


What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?

The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite


Incoming neural impulses are received by the of a neuron?

Incoming neural impulses are received by the dendrites of a neuron. Dendrites are branch-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. Once the signals are received by the dendrites, they are integrated in the cell body before being transmitted down the axon.
