How Do Messages Travel Through The Nervous System

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

This part of the neuron stores then releases neurotransmitters into the synapse.
