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 one of the longest animal cells?

One of the longest animal cells is the nerve cell or neuron, which can extend from the spinal cord to the toes in humans. These cells can be over 3 feet long in some cases, allowing for rapid communication between different parts of the body.


Long tube like structure that carries the neural message to other cells?

That would be an axon, which is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or target cells.


What is a long thin extension of the cell body of a neuron?

An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.


Do axon contain a nucleus?

No, axons do not contain a nucleus. They are long, slender projections of a nerve cell that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells. The cell body of the neuron contains the nucleus which is responsible for controlling the functions of the cell.


A is for what part of the neurone that carries impulses away from the cell body?

A is for the axon, which is a long, thin extension of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells.


What does a neuron look like?

What is an axon and what is its job?

An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other cells. Its main job is to transmit these signals to other neurons, muscle cells, or glands in the body.


What are the longest cells in the human body and how long are they?

The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body. For example, for every receptor cell in your feet, there is a sensory neuron extending from the foot to the base of the spine.


What type of cell is the longest in the human body?

The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) with a length of 90cm-100cm linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body.


What are cells that are modified to transmit signals from one place to another?

Neurons are cells that are modified to transmit signals from one place to another in the body. They have specialized structures, such as axons and dendrites, that allow them to conduct electrical impulses over long distances.


What does a dendrite look like?

A dendrite is a branch-like structure that extends from the cell body of a neuron. It is covered in synapses where it receives signals from other neurons. Dendrites play a key role in transmitting electrical signals within the brain.
