The cell body of a neuron collects information from which structure?

The part of the neuron that picks up information and sends it to the cell body is the dendrite. Electrical stimulation is transmitted by upstream neurons onto dendrites, and the dendrites integrate and determine the extent to which action potentials are produced.

Structure that carries messages between the brain snd other parts of the body?
The Neuron, and in this case, a motor neuron or a sensory neuron.
Which structure in the neuron receives information from another nerve cell?
Its the synaptic cleft found at the end of the axon terminal.
How does the structure of a neuron reflect the function of transmitting messages or electrical signals?
the structure of the neutron allows for efficient transmission of electrical impulses in the body.
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 are the parts of neuron describe and give its the function?
A neuron has three basic parts, the cell body, the axon, and the dendrites.For more info, see the related link below.
What is the structure of a neuron and its role in the brain?
A neuron has dendrites (as inputs), a cell body (soma), and an output (axon).The neuron is the functional unit of the brain: neurons receive sensory information, process that information, store it, and convey commands to muscles and glands based on that information and its processing.

What is an extension of the neuron cell body that sends information away from the neuron?
the axon
Which structure in the neuron receives information from another nerve cell?

What is the structure that nurishes and maintains the entire neuron?
The soma (cell body).
What is the input of the neuron structure?
A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
How does the structure of a neuron reflect the function of transmitting messages or electrical signals?

What collects information in the human body?
The 5 sensory organs:EyesEarsNoseTongueSkin
What structure contains cell bodies of neurons?
The neuron cell body is called the soma.
What is the major function of neuron in nervous system?
i think the activitity of neoron is to pass the the information from one neuron to another neuron throuh electric signals and lastly it changes in to chemical when it reaches to the another neuron.
Which structure in a neuron helps to conduct a nerve impulse away from the cell body?
The axon of a neuron conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body. This is easy to remember because axon starts with an "a" for away.
Which branching structures carry information toward the cell body of a neuron?
Dendrites
