Axon hillock
Neuron nucleus
Function of myelin sheath is to
Generate impulse
Slow conduction
Increase speed of conduction
Store neurotransmitter
Diameter of nerve fiber affects
Direction of impulse
Speed of impulse
Type of impulse
Strength of stimulus
Saltatory conduction occurs in
Unmyelinated fibers
Myelinated fibers
All nerve fibers
Autonomic nerves only
Neurolemma is present in
CNS neurons only
PNS neurons only
Both CNS and PNS
Nerve endings only
Unmyelinated fibers conduct impulses by
Jumping mechanism
Continuous conduction
Saltatory conduction
Faster conduction
Axon hillock is important for
Protein synthesis
Impulse initiation
Impulse termination
Myelin formation
Function of dendrites is to
Transmit impulse away from cell body
Receive impulse
Produce myelin
Release neurotransmitter

Ganglion
Nerve
Nucleus
Connective tissue covering individual nerve fiber is
Endoneurium
Perineurium
Epineurium
Neurolemma
