Q

what are neurons?

A

specialised cells carrying nerve impulses

18
Q

what does the cell body do?

A

contains the nucleus and organelles

19
Q

what do the dendrites do?

A

carry nerve impulses towards the cell body

20
Q

what does the axon do?

A

carries nerve impulses away from the cell body

21
Q

what do the Schwann cells do?

A

surround the axon- protect and provide electrical insulation

22
Q

what does the myelin sheath do?

A

forms a covering around the axon

23
Q

what are the Nodes of Ranvier?

A

connections between Schwann cells with no myelin sheath

24
Q

what is the job of a sensory neuron?
