What part of the neuron acts as a receiver for nerve impulses axon nucleus dendrites NextReset?
The part of the neuron that acts as a receiver for nerve impulses is the dendrites. Dendrites are branching extensions of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them toward the cell body. They play a crucial role in processing and integrating incoming information before it is relayed along the axon.

Which way does a dendrite conduct nerve impulses to the cell body?
the dendrites pick up msgs from other neurons lying nearby.they pass the msg to the cellbody, and then along the axon, the axon might then pass it on to another neurones. from the receptorto the sensory neuron to the relay neurons to the motor neuron to the muscle
The tree like structures on a neuron are called?
the neuron is composed of 4 parts the cell body which contains the nucleus the axon which carry the information and the terminal button which distribute the neurons the dendrites which are the branches that come out.... the dendrites receive the signal.
What are the two structures that make up the metathalamus?
lateral geniculate body : relay nucleus for visual impulsesmedial geniculate body : relay nucleus for auditory impulses
What are 3 main parts of the nerve cell and how are there functions described?
The three main parts of a nerve cell, or neuron, are the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and organelles, supporting the neuron's metabolic functions. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, while the axon transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other neurons or muscles. Together, these components enable the transmission and processing of information within the nervous system.
What is the general structure of a neuron and its important anatomical regions?
A neuron generally consists of three main anatomical regions: the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and organelles, supporting the neuron's metabolic functions. Dendrites are branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons, while the axon is a long projection that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or target cells. The axon may be covered by a myelin sheath, which enhances the speed of signal transmission.

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 composed of a cell bodydendritesand axon?
Nerve cell or neuron
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
The three main structures of a neuron are the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles, the dendrites receive signals from other neurons, and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or cells.
What are the parts of a nerves?
the parts of the nerve cell are cell body,dendrites,and axon, axon teminals, nucleus,
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.
Which tissue has more than one nucleus and is voluntary impulses?
Skeletal Muscle

What are the basic parts of neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the axon, the dendrites, and the soma (cell body). The axon carries information away from the soma and transmits it to other neurons. The dendrites receive information from other neurons. The soma contains the nucleus of the cell and protein synthesis occurs here.
