The fiber in a neuron that carries signals away from the cell body is called the axon. Axons transmit electrical impulses, known as action potentials, to other neurons, muscles, or glands. They can be quite long and are often covered by a myelin sheath, which helps increase the speed of signal transmission.
What else can I help you with?
What is the single extension of a neuron that carries signals to other neurons?
The single extension of a neuron that carries signals to other neurons is called an axon. The axon is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Through which part of the neuron does an impulse leave the cell?
An impulse leaves the neuron through the axon, which is a long projection that carries electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons or cells.
What part of the neuron carries impulses away from the neuron?
Axons send information away from a cell body.
What part of a neuron that relays a neural information?
The synapse. See my answer for What_type_of_signal_is_taking_place_during_neuron_to_neuron_communication
What is the part of the neuron that carries signals and transmits them to other neurons?
The smaller, receiving, head end of a neuron is called the dendrite. This transmogrifies first into the nucleus containing cell body and then into the multi-branched transmission arms of the axon. Axons from the spine to the foot are up to a meter in length.
What is the basis for the functional classifications of the neurons?
Functionally, neurons or nerve cells are classified into three types,1. Sensory or afferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals towards brain.2. Motor or efferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals away from brain.3. Inter-neuron which is present in gray matter of spinal cord and convert sensory signals into appropriate motor signals during spinal reflex.

What carries an impulse away from neuron?
The axon.
What carries messages away from neuron?
The axons.
What neuron processes convey messages away from the cell body?
Axons are the neuron processes that convey messages away from the cell body. They are long, fiber-like structures that transmit electrochemical signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
What does a neuron transmits signals from its what?
A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.
Through which part of the neuron does an impulse leave the cell?
An impulse leaves the neuron through the axon, which is a long projection that carries electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons or cells.
What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
What are the two parts the neuron is split up into?
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
Carries messages away from the cell body of a neuron?
axon
What types of neuron carries impulses away from the CNS?
Motorneurons
