Yes a neuron will always respond to the binding of neurotransmitters released from another cell (synaptic transmission being the 'impulse'). Depending on which neurotransmitter was bound, the postsynaptic potential of the membrane will become either more positive or more negative. It is the summation of these inputs and membrane potentials that determine whether the cell will subsequently fire an action potential.

In a neuron impulses move?

In a neuron, impulses move through electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials are generated when a neuron receives enough stimulation to reach a threshold, causing a rapid change in membrane potential. The action potential then travels down the length of the neuron's axon until it reaches the next neuron or target cell.


What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?

The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
