Neurons
Study set for Brain + Neuron Quiz
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Function of dendrites | receive signals (messages) from other neurons |
Function of nucleus | controls the neuron (the brain of the neuron) |
Function of Soma | organizes and keeps cell structure |
Function of Myelin Sheath | speeds up messages and protects the axon |
Function of Axon | helps send messages from top to bottom (if passed on) |
Function of Axon Terminals | transmit messages to other neurons using neurotransmitters |
Function of Synapse | keeps space between neurons |
Messages traveling to another neuron, Part 1 | The message starts on the dendrite |
Messages traveling to another neuron, Part 2 | The message then travels down the axon |
Messages traveling to another neuron, Part 3 | The message is sped up by the myelin sheath as it travels down the axon |
Messages traveling to another neuron, Part 4 | The message reaches axon terminals and attaches to a neurotransmitter |
Messages traveling to another neuron, Part 5 | The neurotransmitter carries message across the synapse |
Messages traveling to another neuron, Part 6 | Repeat |
