Answer 0

Neurotransmitter

Question 1

Contains the nucleus(also called the soma)

Answer 1

Neurons Cell Body(Cyton)

Question 2

A special type of cell organelle, that acts as the cells “control center”. It contains the cell’s genetic information in the form of DNA chemicals packaged into chromosomes.

Answer 2

Nucleus

Question 3

A nerve cell that carries sensory information(like sound, touch, taste, smell, or sight) to the central nervous system.

Answer 3

Sensory Neuron

Question 4

A structure where an impulse passes from one neuron to another across a gap.

Answer 4

Synapse

Question 5

Transmit nerve impulses from other cells or sensory systems.

Answer 5

Dendrites

Question 6

The long extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.

Answer 6

Axon

Question 7

The hair-like endings of the axon.

Answer 7

Axon Terminals

Question 8

Interrupt the muesli sheath where the axon is in direct contact with surrounding intercellular fluid.

Answer 8

Node of Ranvier

Question 9

The synapse is located at the end of each axonal end branch. Here the end branch forms a small button-like knob, referred to as the _____.

Answer 9

Synaptic Knobs

Question 10

Question 12

A cylindrical, multinucleate cell composed of numerous myofibrils that contracts when stimulated.

Answer 12

Muscle Fiber

Question 13
