Neuron Structure

The long, fiber like part of a neuron which the cell sends information to receiving neurons

• axon

• dendrite

• myelin

• Node of Ranvier

This releases neurotransmitters which are sent into the synaptic cleft for receptors on the post-synaptic neuron to receive

• dendrite

• axon terminal

• Scwann cells

• myelin

The part of the neuron that receives messages from adjacent neurons

• axon

• axon terminal

• dendrite

• neuron
