Structure of Neurons

1.The part of the neuron that receives nerve impulses.

• axon

• dendrite

• cell body

• axon terminus

2.Neurons that have a single process extending from the cell body.

• unipolar

• bipolar

• dipolar

• multipolar

3.The junction between two communicating neurons.

• axon

• dendrite

• neuromuscular junction

• synapse

4.Chemical messengers that move across the synapse.

• vesicles

• sodium

• neurotransmitters

• potassium

5.Support neurons and phagocytize bacterial cells and other debris.

• microglia

• astrocytes

• ependymal cells

• oligodendrocytes

6.conduct impulses from peripheral body parts to the brain or spinal cord.

• motor neurons

• sensory neurons

• interneurons

• microglia

7.Gaps in the myelin sheath.

• axon endings

• synapse

• nodes of Ranvier

• neurotransmitters

8.are multipolar and conduct impulses out of the brain or spinal cord to effectors.

• motor neurons

• sensory neurons

• interneurons

• microglia

9.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
