it gets information from other neurons and transmits it to the stoma
what is the role of the soma in a neuron
it is the cellbody
what is the role of the axon in a neuron
thin tubes that transmits information to the axon terminal
what is the role of the axon terminal in a neuron
it is at the end of axons and its job is to store and secrete neurotransmitters
what is the role of myelin in a neuron
fatty substances that coats the axon. it insulates and allows messages to pass along the axon
