outlines the Dendrite.
A
includes receptors when binds to neurotransmitter it creates a new electrical impulse.

outline cell body.
A
contains nucleas which contains the genetic material of the cell.

Q
Outline the axon.
A
send nerve impulses through neurons to send a message

Q
outline the Myelin sheath.
A
protects the axon and speed up transmissions
7
