• dendrites
• axon

Long fiber that carries the neural impulse away from the cell body.

• dendrite

• axon

Fatty, white substance that wraps around and insulates and protects the axon fiber of a neuron.

• myelin sheath
• Schwann's Cells

CREATES the fatty, white substance that wraps around and protects the axon of a neuron.

• Schwann's Cells
• Glial Cells

Too much dopamine has been associated with:

• schizophrenia
• alzheimer's
