Nervous System and Neurons

What are the two parts of the nervous system?

• Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system

• Peripheral nervous system and Overall nervous system

• Central nervous system and West nervous system

• The nervous system does not have two parts.

This releases neurotransmitters which are sent into the synaptic gap

• axon

• axon terminal

• gene

• neuron

A nerve cell that is the basic working unit of the brain and nervous system which processes and transmits information

• axon
• neuron
• dendrite
• neurotransmitter

This insulating material forms a layer, around the axon of a neuron.  It enables electrical signals to travel down the axon at higher speeds.

• neuron
• myelin sheath
• dendrite
• neurotransmitter

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

What part of the neuron receives the message from the previous neuron?
