Document Summary
Nerve conduction: the movement of nerve impulses down neurons. Nerve transmission: the transmission of nerve impulse across a synapse. Name and define the (6) parts of a neuron. Name (3) things found in the body, (3) things found on the axon, and the (1) thing found on the axon terminal. Dendrites: help increase the surface area of the cell body and receive incoming messages. Nucleus: contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes. Soma (perikaryon / cell body): serve to maintain the cell and keep the neuron functional: contains mitochondria (produces energy), smooth endoplasmic reticulum (produces lipids), and the rough endoplasmic reticulum (transcibing dna and proteins). Myelin sheaths: series of fatty cells that function as the insultation of the axosn. Axon terminals: concerts signal from axon into a chemical message to be passed on: contains mitochondria and synaptic vesicles (neurotransmitters).
