What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?

Dendrites are the structures that receive messages and carry them toward a neuron's cell body. They serve as the main receiving region of a neuron, collecting signals from other neurons and transmitting them to the cell body for further processing.


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.


Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?

No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.


How does a nerve cell function in a human?

The function of a nerve cell is to carry messages around someones body. To adapt to their job, they're very long and are branched at each end. Nerve cells also receive, carry and pass electrical impulses through someones body.

How is it that the shape can adapted to carry messages around the body?

Nerve cells have many adaptations to their function. The basic function of a nerve cell is to deliver a message to the next nerve cell in order to send information across the body. It has long axon that deliver an action potentially a long way.


What carries messages from the cell body of a neuron?

Remember: Axons away, so dendrites carry messages from the cell, and axons carry them away.


What body system is the nerve cell in?
