Dendrites are the multi-branched projections off the nerve cell body.
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.
In a nerve cell, the nucleus is located in the cell body.
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
The Longest cell in the human body is the nerve cell.
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
the nerve cell is
Nerve cell is the longest cell in human body.
A nerve cell is part of the nervous system, a network of neurons that carry signals throughout the body.
these are wire-like projections from the main cell body, which are often further branched and carry impulses to the cell body. theses are called dendrites.

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.
