No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.


What are nerve Processes that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body?

Dendrites are the nerve processes responsible for receiving impulses and conducting them towards the cell body. They are specialized structures that play a crucial role in communication within the nervous system by receiving incoming signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.

What are the root like structures of a nerve that receive impulses and conduct them to the cell body?

The dendrites are the root-like structures of a nerve that receive electrical impulses The dendrites then conduct the impulse to the cell body. Dendrites are root-like structures of a nerve cell that receive impulses and conduct them to the 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


How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?

The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.


The most rapid nerve impulses are impulses that are carried?

The most rapid nerve impulses are carried by myelinated nerve fibers, which have a fatty sheath called myelin that enables faster signal transmission. These fast nerve impulses are crucial for quick reflex actions and communication between different parts of the body. Unmyelinated fibers are slower in transmitting nerve impulses compared to myelinated fibers.


What is the electric signal that is transmitted throughout the body called?

Nerve impulses.
