NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Myelin, an insulating material, is found in

• cell bodies

• dendrites

• axon terminals

• Schwann cells

Gaps between Schwann cells that increase the speed of the transmission of the signal down the neuron are called

• axon terminals

• dendrites

• myelin

• nodes of Ranvier

The part of the neuron that receives messages from adjacent neurons

• axon

• axon terminal

• dendrite

• neuron

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This insulating material forms a layer, around the axon of a neuron.  It enables electrical signals to travel down the axon at higher speeds.

• neuron
• myelin sheath
• dendrite
• neurotransmitter

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

A chemical produced by neurons that carries messages to other neurons

• myelin sheath
• neurotransmitter
• axon
• axon terminal

NGSS.MS-LS1-8

The tiny gap between neurons where nerve impulses are sent from one neuron to another.  It is where communication occurs between an axon and dendrite

• synapse
• axon terminal
