The two major parts of the nervous system are the

The speed of neural conduction between neurons will result in difficulties in speaking, vision, and balance if the ________________ insulating the axons is damaged or removed.
Axon
Myelin Sheath
Nucleus
Brain
Dr. Vazquez is examining a cell from the nervous system of an animal. He notices that at one end of the cell body is a long, fibrous strand of tissue. He immediately recognizes this as an axon that is responsible for
carrying signals away from the cell body
receiving signals from other cells and carrying them toward the cell body.
determining the speed at which an action potential will travel
determining whether the cell inhibits or excites neighboring neurons
Dopamine and Serotonin are examples of _______________
Axon
Neurotransmitters
Somatic Nerves
