What is the gap, or space, between two neurons called?

• Axon

• Dendrite

• Synapse

• Myelin Sheath

Which part of the neuron receives signals from other neurons?

• Axon

• Cell Body

• Dendrites

Identify #8

• Nucleus

• Axon

• dendrite

• Schwann Cell

The part of the neuron that receives messages from adjacent neurons

• axon

• axon terminal

• dendrite

• neuron

This insulating material forms a layer, around the axon of a neuron.  It enables electrical signals to travel down the axon at higher speeds.
