1. Neurons and Nervous System

2. Typical Neuron Structure
Terms you need to locate:
Dendrite Myelin Cell Body
Axon Axon Ending (aka Axon Bouton)

3. Functions of a Neuron rapid transmission of neural signals
the integral element of our five senses, physical ability, regulatory system, and mind
receive nerve signals (action potentials)
integrate action potentials
transmit these signals to other neurons or organs
rapid transmission of neural signals

4. Four Neuron Types

5. Basic Steps of a Neuron

6. Neurotransmission Step-wise
Nerve cell sends electrical signal along axon
Axon carries electrical signal
Myelin sheath protects axon
Signal travels to synaptic knob or Axon Ending
Neurotransmitter crosses synapse
Receptor Cells are activated

7. Images of Nerve Cells
