What is the form of message carried by a nerve cell called?

The form of message carried by a nerve cell is called an action potential. An action potential is a brief electrical signal that travels along the nerve cell's axon, allowing for communication between different parts of the nervous system.


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.


Is a nerve message also called a synapse?

Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.


How do nerve cells relay messages?

Nerve cells relay messages through electrical signals called action potentials. These signals travel along the length of the nerve cell and are transmitted to other nerve cells or muscles at specialized junctions called synapses. At the synapse, chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released to carry the signal to the next cell.


What is the basic nerve cell called?

The basic nerve cell is called a neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information in the form of electrical signals throughout the body. They play a crucial role in the functioning of the nervous system.

Is a nerve a complete cell?

No, a nerve is not a complete cell. Nerves are made up of nerve cells called neurons that consist of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The nerve cell works together with other cells to transmit signals throughout the body.
