Nerve cells. They are really more chemical than electrical, however.

What does the axon you in a nerve cell do?

The axon in a nerve cell transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. It is responsible for carrying information rapidly over long distances within the nervous system.


Whats the word for tissue that carries messages throughout your bodies?

The tissue that carries messages throughout your body is called nervous tissue. It is made up of specialized cells called neurons that transmit electrical impulses to enable communication between different parts of the body.


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.


Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?

Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.


In biology terms what is the tissue that carries messages throughout our bodies?

The tissue that carries messages throughout our bodies is called nervous tissue, which is made up of neurons. Neurons transmit electrical signals in the form of nerve impulses to communicate information between different parts of the body.

A cell that carries messages through the nervous system is called a?

Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized cells that carry messages through an electrical process in the brain. The brain contains about 100 billion neurons.


What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?

Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.

What carries messages from the cell body of a neuron?

Remember: Axons away, so dendrites carry messages from the cell, and axons carry them away.
