Neuron + Synapse

• Dendrite


  Branches of the cell body

  Recieves neurotransmitters from axon terminlal of other cell
• Soma


  Cell Body

  Controls metabolism + maintainence of cell
• Axon 


  Neurons bridge = electrochemical nerve impulses
• Synapse


  Space between neurons

  Control of stimulation of effectors
• Glial cells

  Supporting neurons by holding them

  
  

  oxygen nourishment + removes dead neurons
• Mylination


  Procedure = Produces Myelin sheeth

  
  

  Happens when young + adolescents
• Myelin 


  White fatty substance around axon

  Insulates + fastens the electrical impulse going through the axon
• Axon/synaptic terminal


  End of an axon

  Transmits neurotransmitters to the dendrites of another cell
• Nodes of raviner


  Gaps between the Myelin sheeths along the axon
• Schwam cells


  Produces Myelin sheeths
• Vesicles 


  Small sacs within the axon terminal holding neurotransmitters
• Effectors


  Organ, muscles or glands that respons to the neural signals
• Synaptogenesis


  Forming new synapses
