What else can I help you with?
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
What cells transmit and receive impulses?
nervous tissue.
What are animal cells that are specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses known as?
Animal cells specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses are known as neurons. Neurons have unique structures such as dendrites, axons, and synapses that allow for the transmission of electrical signals within the nervous system.
What is the long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body?
The long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and transmit electrical signals to other neurons or muscle cells.
What is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What carries impulses toward the cell body?
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
What is the association of axons with nerves?
Axons are long projections of nerve cells that make up nerves. Nerves are bundles of axons transmitting information between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body. Axons are responsible for carrying electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another, allowing for the communication necessary for proper functioning of the nervous system.
What is a long nerve fiber that convey electrical impulses to other cells is called a?
A long nerve fiber that conveys electrical impulses to other cells is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and are responsible for transmitting signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Some axons can be quite long, extending from the brain or spinal cord to distant parts of the body.
What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized to receive and transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. They have structures called dendrites that receive signals from other neurons, and an axon that transmits signals to other cells. Neurons have a membrane potential that allows them to generate and transmit electrical impulses known as action potentials.
What is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses toward the cells?
Dendrite is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell.
What cells transmit and receive impulses?
nervous tissue.
What are animal cells that are specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses known as?
Animal cells specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses are known as neurons. Neurons have unique structures such as dendrites, axons, and synapses that allow for the transmission of electrical signals within the nervous system.
How are messages carries in neurons?
Neurons send electric impulses to your cells via the dendrites. The Axons carry the electrical impulses away from the cell. This process sends out signals to your brain for all of your body processes such as muscle movement.
Which cells electrically insulate exons to increase the speed of conduction?
Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system are responsible for electrically insulating axons by forming myelin sheaths around them. This insulation increases the speed of conduction of nerve impulses along the axons.
What is the long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body?
The long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and transmit electrical signals to other neurons or muscle cells.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along nerve cell?
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.
