Document Summary
The differences between hormone communication and nervous cell communication: The __ are a tangle of fibers that branch from the cell body. They receive information from the environment and convert the information to electrical signals cell body, action potential. The__ receives various signals from dendrites and produces an (output signal). metabolic activity. The cell body also coordinates __ of the cell. axon. The __ is a long thin fiber extending from the cell body. action potentials, nerves. The axon carries the __ to output terminals. Axons are bundled together into __ myelin, nodes. Most axons are wrapped with insulating layers of membrane called __ interrupted at intervals with naked areas called __. synaptic terminals. The __ are the sites at which signals are transmitted to other cells (glands, muscles, or dendrites of another neuron). synapse, neurotransmitters. The transmission of the signal to the next cell occurs at the. __ and usually involves a group of chemicals called __.
