When a message enters a neuron, where does it enter in?

• Synapse

• Dendrites

• Axon

• Cell body

Once a neuron receives a message through its dendrites, the signal then travels through the cell body of the neuron, and down what?

• Cell body

• Dendrites

• Axon

• Synapse

The axons of some neurons are surrounded by a fatty substance called what?

Once the signal reaches the end of the neuron’s axon, it needs to be passed to the dendrites of the next neuron in the chain, which means it has to travel through the gap between two neurons, called the what?

• Dendrites

• Synapse

• Malfunction junction

• Axon

What chemicals help transfer a signal across a synapse and allow it to pass from neuron to neuron?
