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

The correct direction of the neural impulse within one neuron.

• Axon Terminal to Dendrite
• Dendrite to Axon Terminal
• Cell Body to Axon
• Axon Terminal to Cell Body

This part of the neuron receives chemical messages from the neurotransmitters of other neurons.

• Axon Terminal
• Dendrites
• Myelin Sheath
• Cell Body

A chemical produced by neurons that carries messages to other neurons

• myelin sheath
• neurotransmitter
• axon
• axon terminal

The tiny gap between neurons where nerve impulses are sent from one neuron to another.  It is where communication occurs between an axon and dendrite

• synapse
• axon terminal
• impulse
• myelin
