Some neurons have a covering composed of a whitish, fatty material called

• Axon

• Myelin Sheath

• Nucleus

• Brain

fibers that receive & convey messages to cell body

• Axon

• Dendrite

• Cell body

Which part of the neuron conducts impulses away from the cell body

• axon

• cell body

• dendrite

• node

The brain lobe controlling vision is the:

• Frontal
• Occipital
• Temporal
• Parietal

branching fibers at the end of the axon; contain vesicles filled with chemicals called neurotransmitters
