muscles or glands that respond when they receive impulses from motor neurons

-

an electrical signal that
passes along nerve cells (neurones

dendrites -

branching fibres that

secretes lipids that make up the myelin sheath



·


myelin sheath -
an
insulating layer that allow electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently

·

saltatory conduction -


propagation of ac tion potentials along myelinated axons from one node of


Ranvier to the next ,
increasing the conduction velocity of action potentials

·
nerve endings
-
fibre that transmitts impulses from the motor neuron to effector cells


that release neurotransmitters to another neuron
