New cards
types of neurone
Sensory neurone
relay neurone
motor neurone
2
New cards
dendrites
short branches situated inside the spinal cord
3
New cards
axon
a long branch of a neurone extending from the spinal cord to a muscle
4
New cards
node of Ranvier
where the axon is exposed (gaps in myelin sheath)
5
New cards
myelin sheath
made of Schwann cells, surrounds the axon, insulating the axon from other neurones
6
New cards
synaptic knobs
end of the neurone
7
New cards
the benefit of myelin sheaf
action potential has to travel less distance than a normal neurone (insulation allows action potential to move quicker)
