    The document describes the basic structure and function of neurons in the human nervous system. It defines the three main parts of a neuron as the cell body, nucleus, and dendrites. It explains how a nerve impulse occurs as an action potential that jumps from gap to gap along the myelin sheath. Finally, it identifies the three main types of nerve cells as sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons, and describes how neurotransmitters are released at synapses to trigger the firing of the next neuron.

    The Human Nervous System 35-1

    Name the three parts of a neuron. Describe the way in which a nerve impulse occurs.

    Can you label a neuron?

    Cell body Nucleus Dendrites Axon Node of Ranvier

    Nucleus - Schwann cell Schwann cell Myelin sheath Synaptic knob Terminal Branches

    A faster impulse the action potential jumps from gap to gap.

    Myelin Sheath

    Three types of Nerve Cells


    Sensory Neurons Inter Neurons Motor Neurons

    In a synapse vesicles release neurotransmitters which cause the next neuron to fire.
