What special nerve cells carris messages to and from the brain?

The special nerve cells that carry messages to and from the brain are called neurons. Neurons transmit electrical and chemical signals, allowing communication between the brain and other parts of the body. They consist of three main parts: the cell body, dendrites, and axon, which facilitate the reception and transmission of information. Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons serve different roles in this communication process.


What controls all the other parts of the cell?

The nucleus controls the functions of the cell. It contains the genetic material (DNA) that provides instructions for the cell's activities, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The nucleus communicates with other parts of the cell through signals and molecules to coordinate these functions.


Is DNA and nucleus related?

NO, because the nucleus actually holds the DNA, so it carried messages to the other organelles (other parts of the cell).


What is the receiving part of a brain cell?

The receiving part of a brain cell is called the dendritic tree. Dendrites are small branching structures that protrude from the cell body of a neuron. They receive electrical signals and chemical messages from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.


How does the shape of a nerve cell aid in its function?

The nerve cell's thin and dainty shape helps it transmit signals. Also, the "fingers" at the ends help transmit the messages to more than one other nerve cell so the message can reach either the brain or the spinal cord faster. The thin shape also helps keep the message on a straight path and keeps the message from getting confused or mixed up with other messages being transmitted so as to insure the direct and immediate receiving of all the messages. 👍👍👍

How do neurons send messages to each other so that they finally reach the brain?

The dendrite carries messages to the cell. The axon carries messages away from the cell. These messages travel to the nerves ,that goes to the spinal cord, to the brain.


What cell carries messages to and from the brain?

Does the nerve cell send messages to the brain?

yes, it does.


What carries messages to parts of the body?

The brain sends electrical signals to the rest of the body parts, and as a result, that part of the body reacts.

It is like the brain and it tells the other parts how to work
