Question
![With the help of figure 12.6 on page 395 and the definitions below, label the following
diagram of a typical neuron.
axon - the long extension of a neuron
that carries nerve impulses away from myelin sheath - the fatty substance that surrounds and
the body of the cell.
axon terminals - the hair-like ends of node of Ranvier - one of the many gaps in the myelin
the axon
cell body - the cell body of the
neuron; it contains the nucleus and
other cell organelles
dendrites - the branching structure of Schwann's cells - cells that produce myelin - they are
a neuron that receives messages
|(attached to the cell body)
1.
protects some nerve fibers
sheath – impulses jump from node to node resulting in
faster transmission
nucleus - the organelle in the cell body of the neuron
that contains the genetic material of the cell
located within the myelin sheath.

Place an arrow along the diagram to indicate the direction that impulses travel long the
neuron.
