BSN 3Y2 – 3A

Read the definitions then label the neuron diagram below.

axon - the long extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from
the body of the cell.
axon terminals - the hair-like ends of the axon
cell body - it contains the nucleus (also called the soma)
dendrites - the branching structure of a neuron that receives messages
myelin sheath - the fatty substance that surrounds nerve fibers
node of Ranvier - one of the many gaps in the myelin sheath
nucleus - the organelle in the cell body of the neuron that contains
the genetic material of the cell
Schwann's cells - cells that produce myelin

Write the name of the cranial nerve of your answer on the blank provided before the number.
