Afferent (sensory) division of the nerve cell receives input messages. The ends are called dendrites. A typical neuron in the central nervous system (CNS) has many thousand dendrites. It is the dendrites that receive the nervous signals from other neurons via connections called synapses.

What Neurons parts is not involved in message transport Dendrite axon cell body or none of the above?

The part of the neuron that is not directly involved in message transport is the cell body. While the cell body contains the nucleus and organelles necessary for the neuron's metabolic functions, it does not participate in the transmission of electrical signals or messages. In contrast, dendrites receive signals from other neurons, and the axon transmits messages away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.


What part of the body transmits messages?

Central Nervous system.


Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?

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.


What part of the neuron conducts the nerve impulse?

Dendrite toward the cell body, axon away from the cell body.


What part of the neuron carries impulses to the neuron?

The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.


What is a part of a neuron that receives messages?

The dendrites are the part of a neuron that receives messages from other neurons. They receive chemical signals from neighboring neurons and transmit the information to the cell body.

What are characteristic of a neuron?

Neurons play an important part in relaying messages throughout the body. The characteristics are dependent on the role of the neuron and its location.
