The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.

∙ 11y agoUsually the DENDRITE carries information INTO the neuron.
The information first goes down the axon, and then enters another neuron by going through a space between the axon and the dendrites called synapse.
Therefore the axon carries information TO the next neuron, it goes through the synapse, and the DENDRITE carries that information FROM the other neuron into the neuron which RECEIVES the information.

Which neuron receives information?
actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.

What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
What is the function of receptors in a neuron?
To enable cells recognize chemical messages
What holds a neuron in place?
A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body.
What part of a neuron transmits information to other neurons?
Dendrites receive information from other neurons. A dendrite is a short branched extension of a nerve cell where impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
What is the nerve fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons?
The axon

What neurons receive information from sensory organs?
Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
Which part of a neuron is attached to the soma and carries messages out to other cells?
Apex question is which is a part of a neuron that sends out messages answer axon
What are the basic parts of neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the axon, the dendrites, and the soma (cell body). The axon carries information away from the soma and transmits it to other neurons. The dendrites receive information from other neurons. The soma contains the nucleus of the cell and protein synthesis occurs here.
What is A specialized that can receive and transmit signals to other cells like it called?
Neuron

These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
A neuron like other cells has a nucleus and an?
cell body
Does the cell body process information in the neuron?
The main part of the neuron, containing the nucleus and other organelles and serving as the site of the cell's metabolic reactions; processes input from the dendrites and if input is large enough relays to the axon, where an impulse is initiated.
Which part of a neuron transports information from the neuron to other neurons through an electrochemical reaction?
axon
