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
What are the fibers that carry impulses toward the neuron cell body?
Dendrites.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
Part of a neuron that transmits nerve impulses toward the central nervous system?
Afferent neurons do this. Efferent do the opposite. It does not matter which system the neurons belong to i.e. Automonic vs. sympathetic. This is a general definition of the direction which nerve impulses are conducting. Afferent nerves are more commonly but less accurately known as sensory nerves.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The nerves that carry impulses toward the brain are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry impulses away. In way to remember this is afferent equals away.
What is the structure of a neuron and what kinds of neurons are found in the body?
A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called ­dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only one axon. An axon, however, can have more than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell.Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. Nerve fibers are often arranged in parallel bundles covered with connective tissue, something like a package of uncooked spaghetti wrapped in cellophane. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.
Which neuron carries impulses toward the main cell body?
the axon carries impulses toward the main 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
What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?
nerve impulses
What is the afferent process called?
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
What are the fibers that carry impulses toward the neuron cell body?
Dendrites.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
Small branched extension of a neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
dendrite
What neuron conducts impulses toward the synapse?
All neurons'impulsestravel to the synapse of the neuron. The synapse is the end of the neuron where theimpulsecantravelto another neuron or the any other receptor cell in the body.
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
What carries impulses toward the neuron cell body?
Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.
What part of a nerve cell carries impulses toward the cell body?
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
