(Nerve) Axon
Carries out electrical signal away from soma
(Nerve) Cell body (soma)
Carries out normal cell function
(Nerve) Dendrites

(Nerve) Schwann cell
Makes myelin
(Nerve) Myelin sheath
Insulates the Axon
(Nerve) Neurolemma
Cytoplasm and nucleus of Schwann cells
(Nerve) Node de Ranvier
Space between 2 Schwann cells for electrical signal
(Nerve) Axon Terminal
Holds and releases neurotransmitters
(Nerve) Synapse
