The cell body contains cytoplasm, nucleus and organelles. ]]> 2019-02-18 17:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332404437 Dendrites skier19 https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332404749 After leaving the cell body, the neuron travels through the dendrites. The dendrites are short projections that conduct impulses toward the cell body. ]]> 2019-02-18 17:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332404749 Axon skier19 https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332404977 From the dendrites come the axon. The axon is a longer projection that conducts impulses away from the cell body.]]> 2019-02-18 17:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332404977 Myelin skier19 https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405145 The myelin is a sheet of connective tissue wrapped around the axon.]]> 2019-02-18 17:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405145 Terminal Branches skier19 https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405453 The terminal branches come after the axon. They are the endpoint.]]> 2019-02-18 17:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405453 Terminal Buttons skier19 https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405655 The terminal buttons are small swellings at the end of the terminal branches.]]> 2019-02-18 17:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405655 Vesicles skier19 https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405801 Vesicles are within the terminal buttons. They are tiny packages containing neurotransmitters]]> 2019-02-18 17:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332405801 Synapse skier19 https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332406022 The synapse comes after the vesicles. It is a gap between neurons; they can be axonal, somatic, dendritic, glandular or muscular. ]]> 2019-02-18 17:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/skier19/z7msvoym7m56/wish/332406022
