The neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called a dendrite.

Here's a breakdown:

* Neuron: The basic unit of the nervous system.

* Dendrite: A branched extension of a neuron that receives signals from other neurons. These signals are then transmitted towards the cell body.

* Cell Body (Soma): The central part of a neuron containing the nucleus and other organelles.

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

So, dendrites bring information in to the cell body, while axons carry information out from the cell body.
