this is not 100% your answer but i know that it has many branches sticking out from the main part. to send it they send elctronic signals to your brain telling your brain something. it doesnt take long because since it has so many branches it can take a shortcut to go to the nearest place

How does the brain send and receive messages from our body?

The brain sends and receives messages from the body through the nervous system. Nerve cells, or neurons, transmit electrical and chemical signals to communicate information. Sensory neurons carry signals from the body to the brain, while motor neurons send signals from the brain to the muscles and glands.


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.


Does your brain have nerve endings?

No, the brain itself does not have nerve endings. Nerve endings are found in other parts of the body, such as the skin, that send signals to the brain.


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.


Where do sensory neurons send messages to in the body?

Sensory neurons send messages to the brain and spinal cord in the body.
