The Central Nervous System is made up of the

• Brain and Cranial Nerves

• Neurons and Axons

• Spinal Cord and Dendrites

• Brain and Spinal Cord

PNS stands for

• Productive Nervous System

• Peripheral Nervous System

• Political Nervous System

• Primary Nervous System

Transports nerve impulses toward the cell body

• Axon

• Axon terminals

• Dendrites

• Schwann Cells

Which direction do axons carry nerve impulses?

• Toward the cell body

• They don't carry nerve impulses

• Around the cell body

• Away from the cell body

Acts as an insulator for neurons and allows for faster conduction of nerve impulses.

• Myelin
