An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.

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 smallest cell in the female body?
While axons of the neuron are often mere micrometres thick, they can be up to a meter long (and longer in adults). This makes the neuron the longest cell in the body.
What type of cell is the longest cell in the body?
A tactile (touch) sensory neuron of the toes would stretch from the toe all the way to the medulla (lowest part of the brainstem). The dendrites would extend from the toe to the lower end of the spinal cord, where its cell body would be in the dorsal root ganglion, and from there the axon continues all the way to the medulla in the brainstem. So, in a person who's 6 feet tall the cell could be over 5 feet long.
The single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cell body is called the?

Do nerves contain axons?
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
What is the long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron which is the conductor of nerve impulses?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
A is for what part of the neurone that carries impulses away from the cell body?
A is for the axon, which is a long, thin extension of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells.
What is The largest cell in the body is?
While axons of the neuron are often mere micrometres thick, they can be up to a meter long (and longer in adults). This makes the neuron the longest cell in the body.
What does a neuron look like?
The parts of a generic neuron are:- soma - cell body axon - upto 1 meter long dendrite - many
What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What are the two parts the neuron is split up into?
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
A single long strand coming out of a neuron that carry messages away from the cell body?
axon
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 long part of the neuron that extends out from the body cells?
the longest part of a nerve cell is called the Axon.
What is the smallest cell in the female body?
While axons of the neuron are often mere micrometres thick, they can be up to a meter long (and longer in adults). This makes the neuron the longest cell in the body.
What cell is very long and has branches?
A nerve cell, or neuron, is long and branching.
What are the parts of neuron and its function?
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
