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
axon
axon terminal
dendrite
neuron
Label the Neuron Cell
Nerve Ending
Axon
Dendrite
Mylein Shealth
Cell Body
This insulating material forms a layer, around the axon of a neuron. It enables electrical signals to travel down the axon at higher speeds.
