The Neuron

The long, fiber like part of a neuron which the cell sends information away from the cell body

• axon 
• dendrite
• axon terminal
• gene

This releases neurotransmitters 

• axon
• axon terminal
• gene
• neuron

An electrical communication signal sent between neurons by which neurons communicate with each other

• axon
• axon terminal
• impulse
• dendrite

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
• dendrite
• neurotransmitter

A chemical produced by neurons that carries messages to other neurons

• myelin sheath
• neurotransmitter
• axon
• axon terminal

What makes up the brain?

• Nerve tissue
• Brain tissue
• Cortex tissue 
• Stem tissue

Label the Neuron-What does the letter "A" represent?

• Axon
• Dendrite

These receive messages and conduct impulses to the Cell Body

• Axon
• End Bulbs
• Dendrites
• Myelin Sheath

Label the Neuron-What does the letter "H" represent?

• Schwann Cell
• Axon
• Axon Terminal
• Dendrite
