Question

which structure in a neuron helps to conduct a nerve impulse towards the cell body ?

Answer 1

The information passing through neurons is in the form of chemical and electrical signals, called nerve impulse.

1.Towards the cell body: Dendrites.
2.Away from the cell body: Axon

Answer 2

A neuron is consist of nucleus and covered by cell body. The cell body branched out is termed as the dendreon and the longest extension of the dendreon is termed as axon. The dendreons are further branched out are known as dendrites. The axon terminal branched out into synaptic ending or the ending of the axon terminal is termed as the synaptic ending. The axon terminal is covered by a seath like structure is termed as myelin seath. The myelin seath is discontinued at certain places are termed as nodes of ranvier.

The dendrites and axon help to conduct a nerve impulse towards the cell body.
