The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.

State the three main parts of a neuron and describe how an impulse travels through a neuron?

Okay, information is received through the dendrites, and then moves on the the cell body. From there, the cell's axon passes the message on to other neurons or to muscles or glands.


What cell carry messages to and from the different parts the body?

Neuron carries messages from different parts of the body.


Structure that carries messages between the brain snd other parts of the body?

The nervous system is responsible for transmitting messages between the brain and other parts of the body. This communication occurs through specialized nerve cells called neurons, which transmit electrical signals across a network of pathways. These pathways include the spinal cord, nerves, and various neurotransmitters that allow for the rapid transmission of information throughout the body.


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 cells use energy released through respiration to transmit messages through the body?

Neurons, which are the cells of the nervous system, use energy released through respiration to transmit messages (electrical impulses) through the body. This process involves the generation and propagation of action potentials along the length of the neuron, allowing for communication between different parts of the body.


How are messages in the body transmitted?

The messages are transmtted through neurons that are nerve cells.As each neuron has a Cyton and an axon,one axon is connected to cyton of other cell through dendrons.In this way the network continues in the control of Brain i.e the main neurocontrol organ


After several months of ALD what does Lorenzo's neuron look like?

It has lost its myelin sheath (clothes) so it can no longer be used to send messages from the brain to other parts of the body.

What part of the body sends a message to the brain?

Your nervous system sends messages from the body to the brain. Different kinds of Neurons are used to send each message, to allow your brain to know what is going on in your environment. The things that cause a reaction are called Stimuli. Messages are sent along nerve cells, or Neurons. For instance, if you prick your finger on a pin, a sensor in your skin called a Receptor sends a message of pain through a Sensory Neuron, to a Relay neuron in your Central Nervous System (which is your brain and spinal cord). The message is then sent through the CNS, to the brain, so your brain can decide how to react to the pain. The message is THEN sent through a motor neuron, which causes your muscles to move to react to the message. (Something that reacts to a message from a neuron is called an Effector- because it causes an effect.) In this case, the message from the motor neuron to the effector- your muscle- would make you pull your hand back, to get it away from the pin. In short: A change in your environment, like pain, is picked up by a Receptor. The message picked up by the Receptor is sent through a Sensory Neuron. The message is then sent through the Central Nervous System by Relay Neuron. Once the brain has decided what to do, it sends a message to the Motor Neuron. The Motor Neuron triggers an Effector (a muscle, or some chemical secretion) to react to the change. It may not be completely correct, but I'm 90% sure that's at least a rough, simple version.

What is a simile for neuron?

A neuron is like a telephone wire, transmitting messages rapidly across distances to communicate vital information within the body. Just as a wire connects different devices, neurons connect various parts of the nervous system, ensuring that signals are relayed efficiently.
