Cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system to various organs in the body are called?

Neurons are the cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system to various organs in the body. They are specialized cells that can receive, process, and transmit information via electrical and chemical signals.


Is neurons short hair like fibers that receives information?

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals in the body. They have long, slender extensions called dendrites and axons that allow them to communicate with other neurons. Dendrites receive incoming signals, while axons transmit signals to other neurons or cells.


What is the name of the cells in the brain?

Neurons are the name of the cells in the brain that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals.


What cell transmits and receive nervous-system signals?

The dendrites collect information from other cells (afferent) or send information to other cells (efferent). The afferent dentrites are stimulated by chmicals from sensory cells. The efferent dentrites send chemical signals to other cells.


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.

Why do nerve cells have fine extensions?

Nerve cells have fine extensions called dendrites and axons to receive and transmit electrical signals, allowing for communication between different parts of the nervous system. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons, while axons transmit signals to other neurons or target cells such as muscles or glands. These extensions enable nerve cells to integrate and relay information efficiently.


What is a cell that can receive and transmit signals?

Actually all cells can send and receive signals. For example every cell has a CD95(FASr) which receives signals from natural killer cells or T cells and results in cell death. Also all cells send signals through cell membrane receptors to neighboring cells. These signals prevent neighboring cell colonies from growing too big.(The lack of these signals is one of the problems with certain cancer cells)


Which sense organ helps us to feel things?

The nervous system helps your body to sense things around it by taking in input from receptor cells, which sense things, and transmit these signals at super-fast speeds to your brain, which processes the signals. These signals are then sent back through the nervous system to muscle cells or another form of output, such as salivary glands.

What form of energy is used to transmit messages from one part of the body to another?

Electrical energy is used to transmit messages from one part of the body to another through the nervous system. Nerve cells called neurons use electrical signals to communicate with each other and relay information throughout the body.
