Q

what is the function of an axon

A

carries impulses away from the cell body

Q

what is the function of dendrites and dendrons

A

carry impulses towards the cell body

18
Q

what is the role of the myelin sheath

A

surrounds the axon and increases the speed of impulses

19

A

carrys impulses from receptors to the CNS

20
Q

what does a motor neurone do

A

carries impulses from CNS to effectors

21
Q

what does a relay neurone do

A

carries impulses from sensory neurones to motor neurones
within the CNS

22
Q

what is a synapse

A

a small gap between neurones.
a nerve impulse is transmitted between synapses via neurotransmitters
