What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?
nerve impulses
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 is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
The axon.

nerve impulses
What cell carry messages to and from the different parts the body?
Neuron carries messages from different parts of the body.

Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?
No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.
Which type of nerve cell carries messages toward the brain?
sensory or afferent nerve cells carry messages to the brain
Which part of the nerve cell can carry messages over long distances?
The Axon.

What is the function of the nerve cells?
The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.
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 is a role of an axon?
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
What body system is the nerve cell in?
A nerve cell is part of the nervous system, a network of neurons that carry signals throughout the body.
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
The axon.
