Neuron

The long, fiber like part of a neuron which the cell sends information to receiving neurons

• axon 

• dendrite

• axon terminal

• gene

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

A network of branches coming from individual cells.  They carry information and electrical signals in the brain and nervous system
