o Cells that conduct a nerve impulse.
o The things that people do, think, say, and feel are in response to the interactions between the neurones by passing on electrical and chemical messages.
o Dendrites receive signals from other neurones or sensory receptors.
o Axon carries the impulses away from the cell body down the length of the neurone.
o The myelin sheath insulates the axons allowing the electrical impulse to travel faster and alone a longer axon.
o The cell body contains a nucleus which is the control centre of the neurone.
