A reflex. Reflexes are processed by the spinal cord in order to provide a quicker reaction than would be achieved if the signal travelled all the way to the brain and back.
the axon carries impulses toward the main cell body
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
blood
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
Dendrites carry impulses toward the cell body of a neuron. They receive signals from other neurons and transmit those signals to the cell body for processing.
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
dendrite
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) carries impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to the effectors, which are muscles and glands. This transmission of impulses allows for responses such as muscle contractions or hormone release.
efferent
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.
Sensory neurons are the type of nerve cells that carry impulses only towards the body of the cell. They transmit sensory information from receptors in the body to the central nervous system for processing.
