Neuron

Vesicle

________- Where neurotransmitters are stored.

Myelin Sheath

________- insulates the axon to speed up the neurotransmission process.

Neurotransmitters

________- messengers that carry chemical messages through the synapse to the receiving neuron.

Receptor Sites

________- membrane on cell surface that reads /reacts to messages.

Synaptic Gap

________- the empty space between the sending and receiving neurons.

Nucleus

________- Controls the cells.

Dendrite

________- fibers that receive messages from cells and conduct them to the cell body.

Axon

________- Extension to the neuron that passes messages to other neurons.

Terminal Branches

________- change action potential into chemical messages.
