Questions and CORRECT Answers
, 2 Dendrite
3 Lobe 4 Node of
Dendrite Receives signals from other neurons.
Cell Body (Soma) Contains nucleus; integrates incoming signals.
, Axon Transmits electrical impulses away from the cell
body.
Myelin Sheath Insulates axon; speeds up impulse transmission.
Node of Ranvier Gaps in myelin sheath; enables saltatory
conduction.
Synapse Junction between neurons; site of neurotransmitter
release.
Astrocytes Support neurons, form blood-brain barrier.
Oligodendrocytes Myelinate CNS axons; also provide structural
support
