Motor Neurones

Cards (5)

  • Motor Neurone Cell Body holds typical organelles with proteins and neurotransmitters produced there
  • Motor Neurone Dendrites carry action potential to surrounding cells
  • Motor Neurone Axons are conductive, long fibres that carry the action potential impulse
  • Motor Neurone Schwann Cells form a myelin sheath around the axon to protect it and speed up impulses, layered with lipids to prevent ions from passing through
  • Motor Neurone Nodes of Ranvier create saltatory conduction by increasing velocity of action potential
