The part of a neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body is called the dendrite.

Here's a breakdown:

* Dendrites: These are branched extensions of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. They act like antennas, picking up the signals and transmitting them towards the cell body.

* Axon: This is the long, slender projection of a neuron that carries signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

Think of it like a highway: Dendrites are the on-ramps, bringing information into the cell body, while the axon is the main highway carrying information out.
