Parts of the neuron

Which part of the neurons are tiny sacs that contain molecules of neurotransmitter

Vesicles

Describe the function of Vesicles

Are tiny sacs that contain molecules of neurotransmitter

Describe the function of axon hillock

Attaches the axon to the cell body, which is where the nerve impulse is triggered from

Which part of the body Attaches the axon to the cell body, which is where the nerve impulse is triggered from

Axon Hillock

What part of the neuron are located at the end of the axon, and include the terminal buttons

Axon terminals

Describe the function of Nodes of Ranvier

Breaks between the myelin sheath which is where the nerve impulse is triggered from by being exposed to the external environment=diffusion of ions

Describe the function of the Axon

Carries the electrical impulse away from the cell body to the axon terminals

Which part of the body Encloses the neurons

Cell body

Describe the function of the cell body

Encloses the neurons

What is a function of a Dendrite?

Increases surface area of the neuron and recieves messages from other neurons to trigger the electrical impulse

Describe the function of the Myelin sheath

Insulating layer made up of schwann cells, wrapped around the axon

Which part of the neuron Provides the neurons with energy

Mitochondria

What part of the neuron is an Insulating layer made up of schwann cells, wrapped around the axon

Myelin sheath

Which part of the neuron are breaks along the myelin sheath which is where the nerve impulse is triggered from

Nodes of ranvier

Which part of the body is The transit point for the electrical signals, contain the genetic material

Nucleus

Describe the function of the synaptic terminal

Passes the messages to the dendrites of the next neuron (gaps between terminals and dendrites)

Describe the function of Mitochondria

Provides the neurons with energy

What part of the neuron passes the messages to the dendrites of the next neuron (gaps between terminals and dendrites)

Synaptic terminal

Which part of the neurons is at the very end of the neuron where the nerve impulse becomes a chemical message that can be passed to the dendrite of another neurons

Terminal buttons

What part of the neuron carries the electrical impulse away from the cell body to the axon terminals

The Axon

What part of the neuron Increases surface area of the neuron and recieves messages from other neurons to trigger the electrical impulse

The Dendrite

Describe the function of the nucleus

The transit point for the electrical signals, contain the genetic material

Describe the function of the terminal buttons

The very end of the neuron where the nerve impulse becomes a chemical message that can be passed to the dendrite of another neurons

Describe the function of Axon Terminals

These are at the end of the axon, and include the terminal buttons
