Neurons

Question 1

Dendrites

Answer 1

Recieve messages from other neurons (Neurons- NW gives message to the DEN aka Cburg)

Question 2

Cell Body

Answer 2

Cell’s life support center (Celia’s body needs life support)

Question 3

Axon

Answer 3

Carries signals between dendrites and terminal buttons. Wire-like structure that extends from cell body. (Jaxon is the carrier of the message- gossiper)

Question 4

Myelin Sheath

Answer 4

Covers axon of some neurons to speed neural impulses (shields jaxon to quickly spread message)

Question 5

Terminal Branches

Answer 5

Forms junctions with other neurons, contains neurotransmitters. (TB meanwhile
makes friends with the Neurons, jumping from
clique to clique)

Question 6

Action Potential

Answer 6

Electrical charge that travels down the axon (Jaxon takes action in his car that car travels down)

Question 7

(S)ynapse

Answer 7

(S)pace between the terminal buttons of one neuron and the dendrites (space between den and neurons bc they dont like each other)

Question 8

Threshold

Answer 8

Level stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse. ((The gas to trigger Jaxon’s car (T)oyota))

Question 9

Neurons

Answer 9

Individual nerve cells. Building block of neural information system.
