Neurons and Action potential

What do we call a nerve cell that is the basic working unit of the brain and nervous system?

• axon

• neuron

• dendrite

• neurotransmitter

The long, thin "arm" of a neuron that conducts the electrical impulse from the cell body to the axon terminals.

• axon

• dendrite

• axon terminal

• gene

The tiny gap between neurons where nerve impulses are sent from one neuron to another.

• synapse

• axon terminal

• impulse

• myelin

The part of the neuron that insulates the axon and increases the speed of the neural message within the neuron.

• Synapse
• Dendrite
• Myelin Sheath
• Axon Terminal Button
