What is a part of a neuron that receives messages?

The dendrites are the part of a neuron that receives messages from other neurons. They receive chemical signals from neighboring neurons and transmit the information to the cell body.


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.


The part of the neuron that is responsible for receiving information signals from other neurons is called?

Dendrites are the part of a neuron which receives chemical messages (neurotransmitters) through synapses.Mostly the dendrites receive messages from other neurons, but the cell bodies of neurons also receive direct synaptic inputs from other cells.


What acts like antennas receiving messages from as many as 10000 other cells and transmitting these messages toward the cell body?

Receptors on cell surface. Dendrites


Do axons carry messages received by the dendrites to other neurons?

What messages provide chemical information that prevents or decreases the likelihood that the receiving neuron will fire?

Inhibitory messages provide chemical information that prevents or decreases the likelihood that the receiving neuron will fire. These messages typically involve neurotransmitters such as GABA or glycine, which hyperpolarize the neuron's membrane potential, making it less likely to reach the threshold for firing an action potential.


Do dendrites receive chemical or electrical messages from other cells?

both, but usually biochemical since the synaptic gap is normally too wide for bioelectrical signals to cross.


What do nerve cells carry messages away from?

From the brain or nerve endings to dendrites
