NGSS.MS-LS1-2

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

A chemical produced by neurons that carries messages to other neurons

• myelin sheath
• neurotransmitter
• axon
• axon terminal

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
