Neurons Label the Neuron
Read the definitions, then label the neuron diagram below.
axon - the long extension of a myelin sheath - the fatty substance that surrounds
neuron that carries nerve impulses and protects some nerve fibers
away from the body of the cell.
node of Ranvier - one of the many gaps in the
axon terminals - the hair-like ends myelin sheath - this is where the action potential
of the axon occurs during saltatory conduction along the axon
cell body - the cell body of the nucleus - the organelle in the cell body of the
neuron; it contains the nucleus (also neuron that contains the genetic material of the cell
called the soma)
Schwann's cells - cells that produce myelin - they
dendrites - the branching structure are located within the myelin sheath.
