muscles, skin, and glands.
◉ Interneurons
Answer: Transmit and process signals within CNS, link between
sensory and motor neurons.
◉ Glial Cells
Answer: Provide support, nutrients, and insulation for neurons.
,◉ Soma (Cell Body)
Answer: Contains nucleus, maintains cell health.
◉ Dendrites
Answer: Receive signals from other neurons.
◉ Axon
Answer: Sends signal to other neurons/muscles/glands.
◉ Axon Terminals
Answer: End of axon, releases neurotransmitters to pass signals.
◉ Myelin Sheath
Answer: Protective layer that speeds up signal transmission.
◉ Brainstem
Answer: 'Core brain,' oldest part of the brain, controls basic survival
functions like heartbeat and breathing.
