What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
Dendrites are the extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses towards the cell body of the neuron.
What cell is threadlike and sends messages?
The cell that is threadlike and sends messages is the neuron. Neurons have long, threadlike extensions called axons that transmit electrical signals, or action potentials, to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands. These signals facilitate the processing and transmission of information throughout the nervous system, playing a crucial role in bodily functions and responses. Neurons also have dendrites that receive signals from other cells, contributing to their messaging capabilities.
What is a neurofibril?
A neurofibril is a fibril found in the cytoplasm of a neuron and is only visible by light microscopy. Its function is to give support and shape the nerve cell.
What is the portion of the neuron that accepts incoming impulses?
The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus. Dendrites are extensions of the main cellular body of the neuron called the soma; the impulse is passed on to another neuron at the other end, which is called the axon. Neurons transmit impulses to each other via electro-chemical connections to each other that are known as synapses.
What are Large groups of galaxy clusters that appear in sheetlike and threadlike shapes?
Large groups of galaxy clusters that appear in sheetlike and threadlike shapes are called superclusters.
What are the extensions of the cell body?
The extensions of the neuron cell body (soma) are called dendrites. Refer to the related link below for an illustration of a neuron.
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
Dendrites are the extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses towards the cell body of the neuron.
What is the threadlike part of a plant called?
The threadlike part of a plant is called a root hair. Root hairs are small, finger-like extensions that grow from the roots and help the plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
What cell is threadlike and sends messages?

What are neuron's short arms called?
Neuron dendrites are the short arm-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons. They are responsible for transmitting these signals to the cell body.
What is a long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron?
An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.
What is the part of the neuron that receives impulses is called the?
Neural input happens at the dendrites (dendritic tree) of the neuron, but some neurons, notably the sympathetic, can receive input at the axon hillock (where the axon leaves the soma).
What keeps the neuron in working order and has specialized extensions that arise from it?
Myelin sheath
The part of the neuron that has branched extensions that are specialized to receive information are the?
dendrites. Dendrites are specialized structures on a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating information from multiple sources to determine the neuron's response.
What are cytoplasmic extensions that carry nerve impulses towards the cell body of a neuron?
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
What is the structure of a neuron and what kinds of neurons are found in the body?
A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called ­dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only one axon. An axon, however, can have more than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell.Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. Nerve fibers are often arranged in parallel bundles covered with connective tissue, something like a package of uncooked spaghetti wrapped in cellophane. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.
What is a neurofibril?
A neurofibril is a fibril found in the cytoplasm of a neuron and is only visible by light microscopy. Its function is to give support and shape the nerve cell.
