6. terminal buttons
- houses the genetic info of the neuron
- the very end of the neuron where the nerve impulses become a chemical message that can be passed to the dendrite or another neuron
- tiny sacs that contain molecules of neurotransmitter chemicals
- gaps between the myelin sheath which make the electrical impulses jump and move faster down the axon.
7. vesicles
- houses the genetic info of the neuron
- tiny sacs that contain molecules of neurotransmitter chemicals
- gaps between the myelin sheath which make the electrical impulses jump and move faster down the axon.
- branches at the top end of a neuron that receive messages from other neurons
8. cell body
- branches at the top end of a neuron that receive messages from other neurons
- main part of the cell where the nucleus and mitochondria are
- the end of the axon that leads to the terminal buttons
- gaps between the myelin sheath which make the electrical impulses jump and move faster down the axon.
- the fatty deposit that provides insulation for the axon and allows electrical impulses to be passed along
9. Axon
- A long branch from the cell body that passes electrical impulses down to the end of the neuron to allow it to communicate to others
- the end of the axon that leads to the terminal buttons
- gaps between the myelin sheath which make the electrical impulses jump and move faster down the axon.
- the fatty deposit that provides insulation for the axon and allows electrical impulses to be passed along
