Axons carry messages (action potentials) away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. They transmit information from one neuron to another, enabling communication within the nervous system.

What carries messages from the cell body of a neuron?

Remember: Axons away, so dendrites carry messages from the cell, and axons carry them away.

Do Axons carries impulses toward the nerve cell body?

No, axons carry impulses away from the nerve cell body.


What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?

Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.


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

Yes! The axon carries messages received by the dendrites to other neurons.


Do axons receive impulses toward the body cells?

No, axons transmit impulses away from the body cells. Dendrites receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, and then the axon carries the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles or glands.


What is the part of the neuron that carries messages?

Dendrites carry messages to a cell body of a neuron.


Are axons efferent or afferent?

They can be both. Afferent axons carry (sensory) information toward the central nervous system; efferent axons carry (motor command) information away from the central nervous system towards the muscles and glands. Think "affect" vs. "effect" or "arrive" vs. "exit".


What carries messages away from neuron?

The axons.


What is an alternative term for an axon?

Dendrites: Unlike most axons, they receive signals from other neurons and pass the messages to the cell body of the neuron. Axons transmit impulses away from the cell body toward the axon endings/ terminals


What are the Fibers that carry impulses toward the neuron cell body are called?

The fibers that carry impulses toward the neuron cell body are called dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body for processing.


What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?

Dendrites are the structures that receive messages and carry them toward a neuron's cell body. They serve as the main receiving region of a neuron, collecting signals from other neurons and transmitting them to the cell body for further processing.
